The various hereditary forms of the generational transition have been the motive of intense debates in the Social Sciences in general and in Rural Sociology in particular, not only for agriculture in advanced countries but also in regions in development. In the Argentinian pampa region these processes suffered important transformations. On the one hand, these went from inheriting a trade to inheriting a high value real state. On the other hand, these were modifications in household dynamics linked to the existence of greater degrees of “democratization” in the relations between gender and generations. The main objective of this paper is to get to know the processes of change that the families involved went through regarding the succession, not just in what refers to transit among generations but also in the way in which it is distributed among the heirs.
