A major plot point in my new story is an Unexpected Inheritance. The beneficiary was contacted in chapter one that she's one of eight heirs of this noble family. The current lord of the family is growing old and ill and he wants to get the ball rolling on the finding and initial steps of establishing his heirs. None of them will inherit his title or his house, but they'll get equal pieces of the money, investments, some family trinkets.
I assume there would be a lot of paperwork to be looked at and obviously, the inheritance wouldn't actually be handed down until the lord dies. So what are the logistics of getting an inheritance? What kind of paperwork is involved?
