heritage

ChatGPT’s explanation of “legacy”: “Heritage” refers to the property, resources or cultural relics left behind by a person after his death. These legacies can include money, property, art, artifacts, knowledge, traditions and values, among others. Heritage is not limited to material possessions, but also includes spiritual and cultural inheritance.
For example:

Legally, an estate usually needs to go through a probate process to determine how the deceased's property will be distributed.
A country's cultural heritage may include ancient architecture, traditional festivals and folklore.

The origins of heritage can be traced back to ancient societies, when people began to realize the importance of the inheritance of property and culture to families and society. Over time, the concept of heritage expanded to include intangible cultural heritage such as language, customs, and art forms.
