I think you're reading far too much into Blake's comment, and as I've said prior, it all depends on how the company is set up. There is nothing about the nature of a business that requires only one person to get it. They could both become owners, and therefore both be expected to run it, jointly. Or, if the SDC is a corporation, which is more than likely, given its size, they could each get some percentage of the stock, like, say, thirty percent each, giving the family a controlling share, and making it still a family business.

They're both heirs. There's nothing problematic about it. All that matters is the way the will divides the company, and that can be done essentially as one sees fit.
