Law (general)
Will and testament
The full sentence is: De nalatenschap omvat, naast eventueel eigen vermogen van de erflater, de helft van de door het overlijden ontbonden huwelijksgemeenschap. I am just not sure whether this should be translated as 'own funds', 'capital' etc. Would appreciate your advice/recommendations.

personal property/assets
In English you cannot use 'own' the way we do in Dutch. It must have a personal pronoun: my own, his own, etc.

personal estate / personalty
I think in UK inheritance law (is that the region your text is aimed at?) the technical word is personal estate or personalty (rather than assets held in common), referring to everything apart from land or buildings. See if the web reference below is of any help. Personal assets is a term not specific to inheritance law.
