Around 1880 to be more precise...
In my story a prospector comes to town and starts buying up all the gold claims in the town, but my MC's father refuses to sell. Anyway, I was wondering, if my MC's father was to "die" would the claim go to my MC since he is the last family member alive?
Would it make a difference if my MC and his father were partners? So if one died, the other would own/control it 100%?
Did wills work the same as they do today back in the 1800s?
Thanks in advance
