Summary

When some people in Skyrim die they leave an inheritance of 100-500 to the Dragonborn via a courier, the local Jarl and his court take 10 pieces as inheritance tax, this is already deducted from the amount you get.

Incomplete list

It was suggested that anyone you have helped will leave you the inheritance, since after you installed the Killable Children mod, when the child dies (which was not intended and allowed by the vanilla mechanism) you will also be able to get the letter of inheritance about him/her.

Conditions

• Homes can be inherited to own, although upgrades cannot be purchased for them. Beds in these homes shift from (Owned) to being open to the Dragonborn, allowing the Rested Effect and Well Rested Effect to be obtained. Spouses and housecarls can move into these houses as well.
• Potential bequeathers can be assassinated to provoke an inheritance in some instances. This method does not always work.
• Some bequeathers might leave an inheritance of 200 , 300 or 400 , instead of 100 .

Bugs

• Sometimes the inheritance can still be received, even if the "dead" person is still alive.
• Using console commands allows a person to be repeatedly killed and resurrected to receive exploit inheritances.
• On occasion, people who would normally leave inheritance money to the Dragonborn do not do so upon their deaths.
• Sometimes you may recieve a letter that just says "(Player name), In the name of Jarl" and is completely blank the rest of the way. These are normally aquired after the Battle for Whiterun quest on the Imperial side.
