inheritance

Description

Inheritance is the ritual in which the deceased’s assets and the living’s desires are awkwardly exchanged. It slips through legal loopholes and becomes the moment when resentment and pride are equitably distributed among family members. The will, meant to ensure future security, often transforms into a weapon of unexpected chaos. Cast as baggage tied with strings of money and emotion, the inheritance chooses no owner. It is the central theme of a social drama that unfolds both in courtrooms and living rooms.
