Sirius's bequests

Enjoyed the discussion about Harry inheriting Grimauld and/or Sirius's
personal estate (I'm a bit slow in reading the posts; busy time of year..)

If wizarding law is anything like British law, Harry's status as ward gives
him no legal right to inherit. The only way he can is if Sirius willed his
property to Harry or, more likely, to James (Harry would then inherit as
James's heir). Whether the Black cousins inherit the house and any other
part of Sirius's estate would depend upon whether that estate is entailed
within the family, in other words, it cannot be given away as part of a
bequest.

I assume you all noticed that Sirius's vault at Gringotts is the one next
to the one where the Philosopher's Stone was kept?

Cheers,
Nicholas
