Inheritance gives a claim to transfer title — it does not automatically wire RMB abroad.
China succession rules determine heirs; real property then needs notarial/inheritance documentation and registration into the heir’s name. Foreign heirs face extra authentication and practical bank steps. The live foreigner-inherit property wiki stays deep — this page is the atomic map entry. Selling and remitting are downstream choices. Divorce division is a different path. Wills/estate cluster pages remain related reading.
