A quick definition of coheir:

A coheir is a person who inherits property from someone who has died without leaving a will. They can also inherit property through a will. Sometimes, people use the term "heir" to refer to someone who will inherit a lot of money or property in the future. In civil law, an heir is someone who succeeds to the rights and property of a deceased person. There are different types of heirs, such as an heir apparent who is certain to inherit, and a pretermitted heir who has been left out of a will.

A more thorough explanation:

A coheir is a person who, along with one or more others, inherits property from a deceased person. In common-law jurisdictions, a coheir can inherit real or personal property, whether by will or by intestate succession. In civil law, a coheir is a person who succeeds to the rights and occupies the place of, or is entitled to succeed to the estate of, a decedent, whether by an act of the decedent or by operation of law.

Example: John and Jane are siblings. When their father dies, they both inherit his house as coheirs. They each have an equal share in the property.

Explanation: In this example, John and Jane are coheirs because they both inherit the property from their father. As coheirs, they have an equal share in the property.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
