This is often seen in the context of [[successors and assigns]], like so: “this [[contract]] will be binding upon and [[inure]] to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their [[successors and assigns]]”.

Why to the benefit of? Because it is the verbal construction that provides enough diversion to obscure the fact that this is a statement of not jsut the bleeding obvious, but the necessarily true. A contract creates rights and obligations in and of itself; there is no need to further inure them to anyone. The inheritance of a right between a dying, or merging, or assigning counterpasrty is likewise an operation of some other legal process (perhaps a novation, merger or the laws surrounding probate and succession) and not, principally contract (except where it bars [[assignment]]). I have a right. Thus, inuring is purest {{tag|flannel}}. If you are a party to a contract your counterparty's [[obligation|obligations]] are legally binding. That’s all you need to know. [[Chicken licken]], relax: the sky will not fall on your head if you don't say they “[[inure]]” to you. Or, for that matter, to you [[successors and assigns]].
Why “to the benefit of”?  
 
Because it is the verbal construction that provides enough diversion to obscure the fact that this is a statement of not just the bleeding obvious, but the ''necessarily true''. A contract creates rights and obligations in and of itself; there is no need to further inure it, or them, to anyone. They just ''are''. The inheritance of a right between a dying, or merging, or assigning counterparty is, likewise, an operation of some defined legal process or other (perhaps a [[novation]], [[merger]] or the laws surrounding probate and succession). These successions and assignments are not, principally a function of the contract itself — except where it ''prohibits'' [[assignment]]).  
 
By [[Enter into|entering into]] this contract, I acquire a right. I do not need it to then inure to me. If you are a party to a contract your counterparty's [[obligation|obligations]] are legally binding. That’s all you need to know. [[Chicken licken]], relax: the sky will not fall on your head if you don't say they “[[inure]]” to you. Or, for that matter, to you [[successors and assigns]].
