Primogeniture is the method of succession that favors the first born son to the exclusion of younger siblings.
A law code, is a systematic and comprehensive written statement of laws. In countries which have a civil law , a code exhaustively covers the complete system of law, such as civil law or criminal law. In a country which has common law, a code is a less common form of legislation, and it modifies a specific area of the existing common law. The importance of law codes is that they establish clear rules regarding matters such as property, inheritance, transactions, litigation, injuries, crime, etc.

Some received before the discharge are collectable by the trustee. Whether an inheritance can be included depends on the the type of BK (Federal or State) and the laws that are applicable. If however, the BK has been discharged, no monies are subject to seizure by the truste/court. I'm a little confused by the answer above. There is no such thing as "State bankruptcy," though there are state receiverships which are similar but rare. The only bankruptcy that exists in the U.S. is federal bankruptcy, which is codified in Title 11 of the U.S. Code (though State law does affect the federal bankruptcy laws in each State to a certain extent). It is also not true that once the bankruptcy has been discharged the court can't come after inheritance proceeds. If the inheritance occurs within 180 days after the discharge, the court can still come after the money (see 11 U.S.C. 541 (a)(5)). If the inheritance occurs before or during the case, the debtor has an obligation to notify the court by listing the inheritance on their Schedule B, and the court can then go after the money assuming the State in which the bankruptcy is pending does not allow the debtor to exempt that type of property. Also, actual receipt of the inheritance funds is not necessary, a debtor has to list the inheritance if the debtor knows it is coming even if the debtor hasn't actually received it yet. In some states, one can "disclaim" an inheritance, which means the person can say they don't want it, and the inheritance is protected from the bankruptcy court, but this is complicated and rule-specific and one definitely needs to consult with their attorney about this. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

No. Property that you receive by a will IS an inheritance. Property received from a relative under the laws of intestacy when there was no will is also an inheritance.
Your inheritance is typically determined by the will of the deceased person. They may specify in their will who will receive their assets and how they will be distributed. If there is no will, the laws of the jurisdiction in which the deceased person lived will determine how the inheritance is allocated among their heirs.
No. You have no rights in a parent's property while they are living. An inheritance comes from the property a decedent owns at the time of death. Death makes that property 'inheritable'. There is no such thing as an inheritance from a living person.
You should consult an attorney who can review the estate and explain the rights your children have in their father's estate. The children will be entitled to take control over their own property when they reach eighteen years of age. Until then, you should determine how the inheritance is being safeguarded and protected from waste. You can visit the probate court and request the file. You can look through to see if you can determine how the money and property is being held until the children are eighteen.
You are only responsible for the mortgage if you are willing to accept the debt. If you are not willing to accept the debt you simply allow the property to be entered into probate and foreclosed on by the lender. You are not responsible for any monies owed regarding said property even if it was "willed" to you unless you choose to do so.
