Exactly. Those heirs are placeholders, they give the oligarchs some degree of comfort that all the wealth they're hoarding won't go back to the filthy plebs. The money will still be 'theirs' even after their death, to fund their dynasties for generations to come. They'll be lionized on a painting above the fireplace in the palace that their riches built centuries prior. Or something.
