Is there a word for this description? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Patrilineal is another term for inheritance in the male line.

In terms of property inheritance, this is not typical in the United States, where inheritance is determined by state law. Laws often vary.

A will determines who inherits what, or what percentage of an estate. However, a substantial portion of an estate often goes to a man's wife.

If he dies intestate (without a will), the laws of each state determine how much goes to the widow (or spouse), the descendants, and other relatives, especially parents and brothers and sisters. https://estate.findlaw.com/wills/what-happens-if-i-die-without-a-will-.html
