Yes, you are correct. The word is spelled "inherit," with seven letters. When a person dies, he no longer owns his property. Somebody--usually his spouse or children--inherits his property. The grand total of all the property a person owns at death is that person's "estate." In the United States and nations with similar cultures, there is a legal document called a "will." The will says who will inherit your estate. My will says that my wife will inherit it. In ordinary language, "I have left my estate to my wife in my will." Property that is transferred according to a will is "an inheritance," or "a legacy," or a "bequest." Informally, if children are expecting an inheritance from their father, they "come into" that inheritance when the father dies.
