Hmm... Well...
Perhaps I'm just VERY spoiled!
You're right then, if you wanna spend your money on something good, you should ask before you act!
About your question...
You can choose different laws... And I won't sit and talk about them now!
You should always make sure that you have someone with your own familyname, to inherrit you!
If someone else inherrit, you lose the game! Quite simple...
Therefore, If you don't have any children when you die, your brothers will inherrit... If you have none alive, and they haven't leaved any children, you will jump back to your unckles, and then your nephews and that..
If there's no one there either, you jump back to the lines of your grandfather!
Of course, if you have a law that allow traces to run through females, your daughters and sisters childs will inherrit! But remember, when they marry, they get their husbands last name, and so do their children.
The familyname rule you see!
THerefore marry your sisters and daughters into your own family, if that's possible. At least the eldest! So you will always have someone to inherrit.
If there absolutely NO ONE who is in the succession line, you lose!
Sometimes though, I have tried to suddenly receive a new charachter with my last name... A kind of far relative! He he...
Ask more if you are uncertain!
