17 Photos That Prove Inheritance Isn’t Always in the Form of Property and Family Heirlooms
When we hear the word “inherit,” we instantly imagine a suburban home with a collection of paintings. But for many people, inheritance can be in the form of ordinary things that they hold very dear. There are items that are more valuable than jewelry and paintings, especially if they hold the memories of important people.
1. “A pendant I inherited from my great-grandmother that looks like the key to solving a puzzle”
2. “I inherited my grandmother’s house, still a working telephone.”
3. “We inherited a cat... His name is Pumpkin, but we also call him Pig Cat.”
4. “I inherited a century-old cast iron waffle iron this Christmas. It still cooks amazing waffles.”
5. “I think I may have inherited Saul’s watch from Better Call Saul.”
6. “My uncle’s 56-year-old tortoise he inherited from my grandparents”
7. “My friend’s ring watch she inherited from her grandma!”
8. “Inherited this amazing chess set from my father. Just thought I’d share it.”

14. “I inherited this necklace when my mom passed away. I just found out it has a secret — this pointy mini arrow.”
It’s a perfume bottle, the arrow is for dabbing the perfume. © raineykatz / Reddit
