coinheritance
Joint inheritance rights
Coinheritance is the sharing of an inheritance among multiple heirs.
In genetics, coinheritance describes traits or genetic markers that are passed down together because they sit close to each other on a chromosome: The coinheritance of these two mutations suggests they're genetically linked.
The term appears in legal, genetic, and property contexts where multiple parties receive something jointly.
