[[Laws#Gender_Law|The gender law]] determines which children can inherit claims. [[File:Trait bastard.png|30px]] Bastards, [[File:Trait disinherited.png|30px]] disinherited and [[File:Trait eunuch.png|30px]] eunuchs never receive claims. Valid children are given a [[Titles#Claim|pressed claim]] on titles they did not inherit nor vassalize. If the ruler in question held [[Titles#Claim|pressed claims]], each valid heir is given an [[Titles#Claim|unpressed version]]. Unpressed claims cannot be passed down themselves, but will become pressed if used in an inconclusive war.
