pass down
Give to heirs
To pass down is to transfer something from one generation to the next—knowledge, traditions, possessions, or traits: The recipe was passed down from my grandmother.
The direction is always from older to younger, parent to child, predecessor to successor.
Heirlooms are passed down.
Stories are passed down.
Blue eyes passed down through her father's side.
