| | Succession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Succession of property at law covers the two distinct concepts of inheritance (a gift made by will or other testamentary document on death) and heirship, which applies where property passed to one or more dependants according to a formula set out in law, religion, custom or under the terms of a trust. |
 | | Succession may also apply to artificial persons, usually through corporate mergers or reorganizations. |
 | | Ecological succession refers to the often predictable series of changes in an ecological community over time after a disturbance, such as a fire, hurricane, or a small-scale disturbance such as a tree fall. |
