Inheritance distribution
Inheritance distribution refers to how a person's assets—like money, property, or belongings—are allocated to their heirs after they pass away. The distribution depends on their will (if they have one) or the laws of intestacy if they don't. Typically, the estate is divided among family members such as spouses, children, or other relatives, according to specific rules or instructions. The goal is to ensure assets are transferred fairly and efficiently, respecting the deceased’s wishes or legal standards. This process can involve paying debts and taxes before the remaining assets are distributed.
