Do they just move it to the next person on the list then like the other poster said? I mean yes that would make sense, but I don't know how that would work with SE's programming. Yea I bet they could check that, but would it cause an issue to just move it on to the next person? I'm not a programmer so I don't know how all that works. But you would think they could do something.
From a coding perspective, it does seem to be difficult to screen people from "inheriting" multiple properties when original owners drop from the game. To make this inheritance more rigorous (i.e., making the coding easier), the following would probably work:
  1. For any property, make it a requirement that a successor be designated.
  2. However, a successor is invalid if their account already owns property.
  3. If a successor was previously valid and designated, but then subsequently acquired property, then their previous designation as a successor is invalidated.
  4. When an owner drops from the game, and there is no valid successor, then the plot is placed on the market.
