If this means that you ran a regression separtaly for those with
and without wealth when they were 20 years old, then that sounds 
to me like controlling for "taking over the family business/farm" 
rather than "inheritence", as at age 20 the parents are likely
to still be alive. Again, this sounds like an intervening
process, so you probably should _not_ control for it if you
are interested in the effect of race.
