I would love to get as much detail as possible on how inheritance works. And I do mean as much as possible, I'm guessing the laws vary depending on where you live.1) Is primogeniture, (oldest kid, usually male, gets everything) the standard? Or does every (male) child get an equal share of the estate? Or do they go down the list with the oldest getting the lions share and shrinking the further down you are.
2) Then there is the big question of if women inherit on the same grounds as men, or only if there or no male siblings or no male relatives at all.
3) Then, if at all possible the nitty-gritty would be lovely. For example, do the nobility favor the current laws or do they want a different system in place? How easy or difficult is it to disinherit someone, or say that someone outside of your blood relatives or immediate family inherits your estate? Are wars commonly fought over matters of inheriting certain titles, like what happened with the 100 year war?
Whew, I know that's a lot but I have been insanely curios about this for sometime. Especially for our students that chose a noble or well-to-do station. Will these matters effect future story lines or options for what careers they choose?
