Tea-set broken: what's left? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estate

'what's left?' is the definition.
(what's left behind by a deceased person)

'tea-set broken' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'tea'+'set'='teaset'
'teaset' with letters rearranged gives 'ESTATE'.

(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "Place for tea or coffee" , "Condition" , "Plantation" , "Area of landed property" , "Property with considerable land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
