City Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover said a month's worth of genealogical research determined Arlene Magdon, a first cousin to the late Walter Samasko Jr., was the only living relative of the man, who died in May, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
Glover said the money is likely to be released around the middle of 2013.
Samasko was discovered to have been keeping the 2,695 gold coins, some of which dated back to the 1880s, in boxes in his garage.
Glover said other parties attempting to claim the coins included a Florida man who said he was secret agent who suffered a head injury and only recently remembered he was related to Samasko. -UPI, December 13, 2012
An inheritance is something that a person comes into possession of because of his relationship with another. It is not something that is earned; it is a gift. The believer's inheritance includes life itself. By receiving Christ as Savior, the believer inherits eternal life.
Jesus said, "He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" (John 5:24).
The inheritance of the believer also includes everything he needs for his life. The believer is actually a citizen of heaven who is on a pilgrim journey on earth. However, God has made all spiritual blessings available to the believer.
Paul told believers, "All things belong to you, and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God" (1 Corinthians 3:22,23, NASB).
God's riches made available to the believer are also emphasized in Romans 8:32: "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
Our present blessings are only a small part of our spiritual inheritance, which is to be received in full in the future.
The moment one receives Christ as Savior he is placed as a mature son into the family of God and becomes an heir of an inheritance that is beyond human comprehension.
We are to let Christ reign in our lives now, but our full spiritual inheritance includes being with Christ and reigning with Him throughout eternity.
"To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you" (1 Peter 1:4).
When you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you become a possessor of things---immediately---that you could never possess any other way! That's why people are so foolish to shut God out of their lives.
How many people today, if they could fall heir to a million dollars, would do anything in the WORLD to come to that place where it would be their right to receive that million dollars!
Dear friends, God, by our faith in the Lord Jesus, makes us HEIR of all that He has! We become immensely wealthy when we simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. How can it get any better than that?
Scripture: Ephesians 1:18; Colossians 3:23-24; Titus 3:7; Proverbs 20:21; Galatians 5:19-21; Psalm 16:6; Luke 16:11; Acts 26:18; Luke 12:10; Proverbs 21:20
Prayer: O My God, relying on Thy almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace, and Life Everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
Have a blessed day!
