Last crane turned out to be inherited (9)
I believe the answer is:
ancestral
'to be inherited' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'last crane turned' is the wordplay.
'turned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'last'+'crane'='lastcrane'
'lastcrane' anagrammed gives 'ANCESTRAL'.
'out' is the link.
(Other definitions for ancestral that I've seen before include "To do with forebears, say stately home" , "Coming down the line" , "of predecessors" , "inherited from forebears" , "Coming down the tree" .)
