What is the term for the legal system under which the eldest female inherits all property?

Throughout the history of the world there have been few societies where an eldest daughter would inherit. Female owned property was actually more common in the very ancient world. The term used to describe that system is "matrilineal succession". Although there are a few places around the world where inheritance of titles and property runs along the female line, generally, as "civilization" marched forward female ownership of property was usurped by men. That began to change in the mid-nineteenth century with the passage of married woman property rights acts in England and the United States. In a system of primogeniture the eldest child inherits everything. However, that is generally the eldest male child. In most such systems when there is no male child the title and property pass laterally to a brother of the decedent and then through his line. A system in which that privilege is extended to the eldest female child is called equal primogeniture. You can read more about it at the links below.

Did vassals passed their property on to the eldest son or all their sons in the Japanese feudalism?

In Japanese feudalism, vassals typically passed their property to the eldest son, following a system known as primogeniture. This practice ensured that the family's land and titles remained intact and consolidated, which was important for maintaining power and influence. While there were exceptions, the general trend was to favor the eldest son for inheritance, thereby minimizing disputes among siblings.

How does the order of the throne work?

The order of the throne, also known as the line of succession, determines who inherits the monarchy. Typically, this follows a hereditary system where the throne is passed down through bloodlines, usually favoring direct descendants. In many monarchies, the line of succession has been established by laws or traditions, which may include rules about primogeniture, where the eldest child inherits the throne, and may also consider gender. Changes in succession laws can occur, as seen in some kingdoms that have enacted gender-neutral succession rules.

You live in Nebraska your neighbor thinks he can do anything to your property you want to move your fence to your property line to keep him off property the previous owner knew it was your property?

I don't live in Nebraska but I have had property issues in the past. The best thing to do is hire a surveyor to come out and mark your property. If you live in a town this is not hard nor is it very expensive. Most towns use a "pin" system whereby property corners are marked with metal rods that are just under the grounds surface. How close you put a fence to a property line is governed by municipal ordinance (if you live in a town) or County Statute.
