Well there's another take to that too. I'm not absolutely sure that inheritance is a very good thing in the end, if taken to extremes.
For yer nomal middle-class people who get a house or a piece of land, an old car and some miscellaneous furniture inheritance is OK.

However If pop's a successful businessman and builds a fortune then in the end what's the reason the brats should get the loot when he hits the pit?

OK, I grant it some piece of the proceedings could be handed out to the offspring, no need to take it all off but think about it for a while; amassing any kind of fortune is most likely based on theft and extortion so it would even out it a bit for the state to take it in possession as taxes.

It would benefit the kids too, in the end, as they'd not grow up to be slothy worhless billionares but be encouraged to get real jobs and contribute to the society.
