Why the Last Child?

Among inheritance systems, you will come across Ultimogeniture.

If a lot of kids die, the youngest child might have a better chance of surviving- and taking care of their parents.

There are patterns to how we’ve left property to our inheritors.

A fixed inheritance method like ultimogeniture helps prevent infighting.

However, if there’s a thriving market for land, then strict inheritance rules matter less- since anyone can trade for land.
