Don't let the others inherit - I'll see to it (5,2,2,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leave it to me

'i'll see to it' is the definition.

'don't let the others inherit' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'let' could be 'leave' (synonyms) and 'leave' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Another definition for leave it to me that I've seen is " I can cope with that".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
