family property

Ancestral home holdings

Family property is assets owned collectively by a family unit or passed down through generations.

The term appears in legal contexts regarding divorce or inheritance, where family property may be divided differently from individually acquired assets: The house was considered family property, not hers alone.

It also covers heirlooms, land, or businesses kept within a family across generations.
