Succeed with a will (7)
I believe the answer is:
inherit
'succeed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inherit that I've seen before include "Obtain as legacy" , "Receive under terms of will" , "Receive from a predecessor" , "Receive from a deceased parent" , "Come into (money)" .)
