There's a reason why countries, like Sweden, have scrapped the inheritance tax - it doesn't work like that anymore.

The benefits of wealth are exercised long before the inheritance can be applied.

Your first home down payment, your education, your wealth generation while being on support by your parents, etc. - will push you off the ground faster, than any inheritance in a world where people easily live to 80-90. Most people hit retirement age, by the time their parents pass away.
