    This probably works well enough in China where the lifting of the “one child per family” policy is still relatively recent. What happens when there’s more than one offspring interested in taking ownership? I suppose it’ll be like any other family squabble over heirlooms, but it’s gonna get messy & increase court loads.

      Same as any other possession that’s not directly mentioned in a will.

      Either the beneficiaries come to an agreement (if you let me have the games you can get the ornament of a cow wearing a tutu) or arguments, tears and bitter resentment.

      The only difference would seem to be that, unless further laws are changed, you can’t sell them on if no one wants them.
