Salutations all, I currently play as T. Titus Gracchus.
My question is this:- When a character dies and I then create a second charater does my second character inherit my first characters wealth and holdings?

I think many people would respond with the following line...

DONT I WISH!

The only possible way it can happen is if you create a family estate, and stipulate who manages said estate after your passing. Any personal holdingings, you will still lose, but anything sent to the estate will be passed on.

I remember some time ago when I first joined RL, there was debates over wills, as they were used at the time, and to my knowledge, use of them has been discontinued and if I am wrong, I hope someone corrects me.

The answer to that.. I havent figured out.

I mean the technical side, you just ask a gm. But the business side, you will need money to transfer to said estate which the gm's can do, as well as transfering actual holdings. The trick I have always had is simply making those holdings large enough to matter.

From what I've gathered, the most sucessful estates have either been private investments from many people, or been family estates with investments from many members.

Wrongo!..

Most earn their money through corruption/embezzlement really.. or over pricing someone for a favor. Think "Outside" the box you could come up with countless ways to try and earn an extra buck in Roman Legion. But at the same time remember to have it well thought out and planned, very detailed, and cunning Wink

..You are now free, to attempt to steal off my little grasshopper I have taught you all I know.

Caradoc, both Eee.three and Jason are correct.

Estates to well largely based off two ways: Either multiple PC family investment, such as with the former Flavus Family Estate, which had three PC's pumping money into it. Or, there is the 'dark' side of things, such as embezzling from people or the government, blackmail, the black market, war booty, etc.

The estates were created as a way for PC's to receive large amounts of money, without creating a person who was unrealistically wealthy. In the past there was a player named Pertinax Veno, who at the time of his death I think was worth about 100 Million. The other idea behind estates is that Gm's get to tinker in your business. An example, Emperor Septimus Varro has to gain approval from his siblings to spend large amounts of his family estate, because they are 'trustees'. The Gm's determine the outcome of the request.

There isn't anything wrong with having an family estate just for yourself, though.
