Finwitch:

And, I'd like to add that the House of the Black family is VERY 
hidden - Ministry doesn't KNOW where it is... Only Kreacher was there 
to watch over it, along with lots of magical protections and 
portraits.

I don't know how hidden Sirius' home was (not the Grimmauld Place, 
the one he purchased at seventeen)... and as I don't see him having 
any house-elves *there*, well-- but I'd think that he did place some 
protective spells on it!

And I'd think that a Will is to be honored - it's probably magical as 
it is, and informs the recipients certain time after the giver has 
gone behind the Veil or something like that?

Who knows, maybe Sirius left behind a boxful of letters to be given 
to Harry (so we get to see them) in case of his death. (Writing them 
would give him something to do, you know).

Now, I think that Harry has access to Sirius' personal Vault and has 
had, in theory, since the first letter of Sirius' - 'I used your 
name, but told them to take the money of my own vault, number 711' -  
and Goblins won't let the Ministry of Magic interfere with their 
business.

So in effect, Harry already *has* sort of inherited whatever is in 
Vault number 711. (But Harry won't use it unless he gets information 
that Sirius left it for him in a Will, and I doubt he would even so, 
if he's not specifically told to do so by some letter/the 
Will/whatever)...
