You can sell the asset, so how does anyone inherit nothing?

Someone who wants to spend an inheritance is going to do it, whether it’s liquid (cash) or marginally less so (real property)

Maybe a home that’s been in the family for a long time has more than just monetary value to the people inheriting it.

you sell and after that its gone. If there is a house you can a) live in it (by doing so you cut your own families costs by a massive amount) or b) rent it and get a little extra each month.

Once you sell it you pay more taxes. Do you think any of the money you got will go to your kids, or even grandkids? Id say in 80% of all cases it will be long gone before that time comes.
