Hard to understand the use of "is considered" and "is inherited"

Should "that" be "that that" so that we can easily understand the grammar?

Context:
Heirloom:
(law) any property that is considered by law or custom as inseparable from an inheritance is inherited with that inheritance

@oristarA,

This sentence reads okay to me.

Quote:

any property that is considered by law or custom as inseparable from an inheritance is inherited with that inheritance

To simplify it:
Any property which is (part of) an inheritance is inherited as part of the whole.

It's "legalese", lawyers' language which is a bit different from the ordinary.

Thanks.

So "any property that is considered by law or custom as inseparable from an inheritance is inherited with that inheritance" mean "any property that that is considered by law or custom as inseparable from an inheritance is inherited with that inheritance"?

No. I don't know why you want to insert the extra "that". The sentence works perfectly well without it, and it's inclusion is wrong.

You could write it differently, if that would help:

Any property which is considered by law to be inseparable......etc.

@McTag,

Well. As I reread it twice, I found it actually very simple. Darn it, why have I asked this naive question?
Thank you, McTag.
