To determine the values of justice, it is necessary to do a research and deep observation. This article explores justice dimension of inheritance law, especially to heir.

The descent on heir is started from birth which causes blood relationship that responsibilities between inheritance owner and heir appear. It also includes rights and duties on marriage relationship. Priority level among heirs is based on responsibility intensity so the justice on rights of heirs which fits status and relatives power to inheritance owner appears.
