The difference between an heir and a son

The difference between an heir and a son lies in the difference between inheritance and consanguinity. A son refers to a male biological child who is related to his parents by blood, but does not necessarily have the right to inherit. Heirs refer to specific sons who have the right of family inheritance, while sons refer to male biological children, and their status and rights are determined by laws and social systems.

1. Heirs refer to the heirs in the family, usually the eldest son or a specific heir, whose status and rights are guaranteed by special laws or social systems. The generation of heirs mainly considers family continuity and property inheritance.

2. The status and rights of sons are usually not limited by special laws or social systems, but determined by the cultural traditions of families and society.
