Who decides your inheritance?

There's not really such a thing as "your" inheritance. It seems a strong myth in our culture that just by being someone's offspring you are somehow entitled to an inheritance. The property belongs to the owner. The owner will decide who he/she wishes to leave the property to, and write that down in a will. Whoever that person is, they will have an "inheritance". In the event that no will is drawn up, the owner's property will be divided by the State amongst the spouse and children of the owner.
