do you mean the person who receives the inheritance gets more income from the estate than from earnings?

I'm saying something closer to:

The person who receives the inheritance gets more income from the earnings on the estate than he would would expect to get from his own earnings. In otherwords, he is living off the trust instead of his merits.

It's not going to destroy the country if one person lands in this situation, or if several do on a random basis, but if it turns into an enclave of dynasties then the manor house is not far behind.
