相そう続ぞく
相続 refers to the legal act or process of inheriting, while 遺産 is the inheritance itself (the assets or legacy).
遺い物ぶつ
遺物 means 'relic' or 'remains' (often physical objects left by the deceased), whereas 遺産 is broader, including property, rights, and intangible heritage.

Compound of 遺 (leave behind) and 産 (property, product). The meaning 'inheritance' is directly derived from the kanji components.
