Kreacher is bound to the family line of Black, but with Sirius's death, the direct line of decendancy has been broken; there is no more downward House of Black. 

However, there is still a 'side-ways' House of Black. There are no direct decendants, but there are decendants 'one removed'. In otherwords, Sirius has three living first cousins, unfortunately, none of them are named 'Black'. They are Malfoy, Tonks, and LeStrange.

With inheritance issues like Sirius's, the law usually looks for the oldest and nearest MALE relative. Based on the knowledge we have, the oldest and nearest Male relative is Draco Malfoy.

I don't want to get into the Black Estate Inheritance issue as it has been discussed several times. I just want to remind people that when the books says an elf is bound to a house, that's probably House with a capital 'H'. 

Just a thought.

Sorry I am so far behind in posts, you guys.  I have been dancing naked in the streets at the thought of having the name of the next book!!  Now that my feet are sore and my skin is burned to a crisp, I can get caught up!!

When reading this post, I had the wierdest thought of Harry and Draco in the court at the MoM and 200 witches and wizards looking down at them, fighting over Sirius' estate!!  (but I am his oldest male relative)  (you are just an ugly git!!  I am his godson)
