This is rather a tired old line repeatedly trotted out by various people.
Some people do/would accept having to pay their share.

I think it's selfish to assume that you are somehow "entitled" to every single bit of money that comes your way purely by an accident of genetics. If I give you £20K tomorrow you still have to pay tax on it. How is inheritence any different from a gift?

Absolutely.
You pay tax on that. After that, what you spend it on is yours and if you choose to give whatever that might be to someone else I genuinely fail to see why anyone else is entitled to any of it.

I just assumed that he had sold all his guns or summat.
