The Inheritance is a lame mystery/melodrama that stretches credulity at almost every turn. You'll spend most of the running time wondering why nobody is asking the most obvious of questions, or simply how such an under-cooked whodunit ever made it into production. (When they find out that their father has secretly re-married a woman he had been seeing for 14 years, nobody - not his kids, not the coroner not the police - stops to wonder why the couple felt the need to keep the marriage a secret!) It doesn't help that the three offspring who seem to have been cheated out of their inheritance are all more-or-less equally unlikeable. Performances are very much from the British Soap School of Acting or, in the case of Pauline McLynn as the Coroner, the Acorn Antiques School. Maybe a fun watch if you like picking the holes in silly murder mysteries, but otherwise best avoided.
