I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get' is the definition.
(inheriting is a kind of getting)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for inherit that I've seen before include "Receive by succession or via a will" , "Receive as bequest from will" , "Receive from a deceased parent" , "Receive (as part of estate)" , "Come into (money)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
