Entitlement and Inheritance

Entitlement refers to the right or authority someone has to certain assets or benefits, often established by legal or official means. Inheritance is a specific type of entitlement where a person gains assets, property, or rights from a deceased individual, typically outlined by will or governed by law. Essentially, entitlement is the broader concept of having a rightful claim, while inheritance is a common example where that claim is fulfilled through the transfer of assets after someone’s death. Both involve the transfer or recognition of rights or assets from one party to another, usually through legal processes.
