ancestor

Read a random definition: Materialman's Lien

A quick definition of ancestor:

An ancestor is someone in your family who came before you. They could be your grandparents, great-grandparents, or even further back in your family tree. When someone passes away, their things and money can be given to their family members. If you inherit something from someone who is in your family tree, they are considered your ancestor. This only applies to people, not companies or organizations.

A more thorough explanation:

An ancestor is a family member who came before you. This can be a parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, and so on.

In legal terms, an ancestor is someone whose property or belongings are passed down to their descendants through inheritance. This only applies to natural persons, not legal entities like companies.

For example, if your great-grandmother passed away and left you her house in her will, she would be considered your ancestor.

Another example would be if you were researching your family tree and found information about your great-great-grandfather. He would also be considered your ancestor.
