As per your query it is understood that you need information regarding the inheritance law.
Inheritance is a convention of passing or rather transferring properties, titles, debts, rights, and obligations to the legal heir of a person upon his/her death. It can be done by either a will or through laws of succession. The regulation of inheritance differs among religions, societies, and communities.
It is essential to identify a legal heir for every person owning property; they are the successors for property claims and insurance coverage.
