How did Julius Caesar death lead to Octavian becoming the emperor?

Caesar's assassination led to Octavian becoming the ruler of Rome because Octavian was his primary heir and his adopted son. Now an heir did not only inherit the money, lands and other trappings of wealth, but he also inherited the clients of the deceased (debts too ). In a sense, Octavian also inherited an army. Many of Caesar's legions were willing to transfer their loyalties to him. After proving himself in victories, with the help of Agrippa, it wasn't difficult for Octavian to raise an army to go after Antony and Cleopatra and by their defeat, become ultimate ruler.
