This is the verb form. It's what your rich tita from the US does in her will. "Pamanahan mo naman ako ng chika, friend!" is the modern version for asking for gossip. It's the action of passing down the goods, whether it's a condo in BGC or your mom's collection of Tupperware.
From `pa-` + `mana` + `-han`. The `-han` suffix often denotes location or the recipient of an action.
ROOT MEANING: inheritance; heritage
