Legacy is what someone leaves behind them, either when they leave a place or when they die. "the legacy of the ancient philosophers"

Someone's heritage is something transmitted to them or acquired by them from a predecessor, whether this is a material possession, a tradition, a characteristic or whatever. Heritage = that which has been inherited (it can also be described as a birthright) "a heritage of poverty and suffering" "a national heritage of honour, pride, and courage"

Inheritance = heritage, but where heritage can be used to describe someone's roots in terms of history, personality traits, background or traditions, inheritance is generally concerned with material possessions. "His inheritance comprised a large country estate and several cars"
