Just as patrimony and heritage have the following point in common – both signify something that you get from your predecessors – the two have a different point due to the specificity of the word “patrimonial”. Patrimonial strictly means something that you inherit from a male ancestor, more precisely your father, whereas heritage is something that you inherit from the past, no matter from whom.

What is heritage?

What does heritage mean in this context?

However patrimony restrains it to materialistic objects, wealth, etc., what we mean by patrimony?

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
