Abstract
This chapter approaches inheritance as a form of intergenerational gift, with reference to anthropological theories of exchange and kinship. In doing this, it considers a particular kind of property, the Norwegian holiday home, and the distinctive practices attached to its use and inheritance. The chapter shows how the holiday home attracts a particularly acute role in family relations during the process of inheritance from parents to children, and illustrates how legal concepts are adopted from one arena and applied to another.
