Best Answer

Heir Apparent means that you are the next in line for the an inheritance, and that the birth of another heir cannot supersede your claim. You could use it in a sentence like this: He was the heir apparent to the throne.

Read the book literally called "Heir Apparent" if you want a good story of a definition =)

An 'Heir Apparent' is a person who stands to inherit something and can not be moved down the line of succession by someone with a better claim.

For example, the heir apparent to Queen Elizabeth II is her eldest son Prince Charles. His position inf the line of succession cannot be displaced because he is the eldest child, therefore has the best claim to the throne.
