Line 33:
The Garvouis family in Riverview is a patrilineal family, meaning the oldest living male is the head of the household. Due to the fact that it's a very righ family, and given that in most neighborhoods (with notable exceptions, such as [[Lunar Lakes]] and [[Hidden Springs]]), they are the most influential family, even as far as being considered Royals, the Garvouis family also have an order and mode of Succession.
 
The family is considered a male primogeniture, meaning the eldest son will take precedence over the other siblings and their offspring. The senior line always takes precedence over the junior line, within each gender. However, if there's a lineage of girls and a boy is born, he will take precedence over all his female siblings, evenand younger ifmale oldersibilings. In the older times, the family was also Agnatic, which meant if a female should inherit, she would do so on the grounds of being the nearest possible to the last male of the dynasty, or if she had already eligible male descendency. The primogeniture is not absolute, though, so in each generation all children are set to inherit property, land and titles (if appliable).
 
More recently, the family became an Agnatic-Cognatic Succession, meaning the oldest female of lineage will inherit on the grounds of no eligible males being available.
