Heir (9)

Ross

I think it could be either:

successor

inheritor

'heir' is the definition.
(I know that heir can be written as successor)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for successor that I've seen before include "One following another" , "One taking over from another" , "One who follows another" , "New leader" , "I follow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, the Evening Standard, The Times and The Sun.
