It doesn't sound like the inheritance is the problem but the concentrstion of power. A simple and fair solution would be to not allow a single person to inherit more than 50% of the wealth of their parent! Therefore every generation splits the wealth among two or more people which leads to a reduction in wealth concentration.

Pass that law and nothing would change, the money would go to some offshore bank account which is owned by a secret trust controlled by the kid.
