Would common law or even a will hold up before Sirius is cleared?  
And we don't know what other relatives there may be.  Then why would 
inheritance skip Tonks in favor of Draco.  If Tonks had a brother, 
older or younger, she would be skipped.  But as she appears to be an 
only child, she would inherit through her mother before it goes to 
Narcissa.  
Is Andromeda dead?
