How to unlock the Family achievement in Mafia III: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide
this Achievment unlocks if u give everyone of your "Gang Leaders" a minimum of 2 Districts, So they stay happy in the little cutscenes where they talk why they should get this District.
So if the Irish guy starts whining about not getting a District give him one.
In my Game i gave Vito 4 Districts, Cassandra 3 Districts and the Irish Guy 2 Districts
In addition to that u need to do the side quests for each underboss unless you gave him in my case (Vito) 4 districts.
Assassination for Vito
Stealing cars for the irish dude
Stealing guns for cassandra
When you are finished with all of those you will get the achievment.
I dont know if this is important

I unlocked this on Nov 4, 2022. Further to DeniWhiteRPG's suggestion above, I can confirm this worked using my Xbox Series X. Note I took my console offline and began playing, starting with Burke's missions. I had not delivered the first car, thankfully. I got an error message saying the game had to be played online. I get tapping out and thought it shut my game down, but after a couple of error messages, it put me right back into the game where I was. Then started the missions. I got Burke's out of the way first (what a royal pain in the ass), then moved to Vito's and then Cassandra's. Had a few moment's where the screen froze, but came back after a couple of moments. Once I confirmed the counter on each of the asset's pages were 5/5 I plugged my ethernet back into the console. Another message popped up asking if I owned the game, the whole DRM thing, and as that happened, the Family achievement popped. I did not talk to any of the bosses people to initiate those side quests to steal cargo and bring them back, they are not needed for this achievement. Only to increase the level of earn for the rackets.
This was done on a very focused run of sparing all informants and racket bosses. I had no DLC's installed, except for the weapons packs. I utilized quick resume as I could not do this all in one day. Do not go to the pause menu and shut your console off. I just stood somewhere safe and shut it down. Next time I started it up, quick resume put me back where I started. But be careful, I was doing this on a previous playthrough and at one point when I turned my console on it restarted. But thankfully I was not on a run dependent on shutting the game down and losing progress on anything. I have one more playthrough left to kill all informants and racket bosses, and keeping only one boss alive to the end and earning $10k from one earn.
I hope this can help someone.

Spoiler alert!!!

This can be a royal pain at times to unlock and one underboss is extremely tedius to do.
Basically, you need to do all side quests ".45 in my hand", "I.R.A don't ask" and "I need a favour" missions.
Also two each of Moonshine deliveries, Weed runs and electronics thefts.
Once you've done these it'll unlock.
To get this achievement and MOST IMPORTANT to it is sharing the city equally. (Each underboss must end the game with three districts)
EDIT: if after these step, the cheivo still hasn't unlocked, make a few more runs, in turn, for each underboss, this worked for a buddy of mine.
Also, I've read around that Burke's daughters dialogues also count towards this chievo for some players and not others.

I am certain I've done all of these but for some reason it won't unlock. Everything you've described here I have put in place, but I can't get this one. Pain in the butt.

same for me. probably glitched like a bunch of other achievements in this damn game

Welcome to my glitch guide. If the achievement glitched for you like mine did, it means that you belong to a percentage of people that are unlucky. This achievement doesn't glitch for everyone. The glitch affects the achievement's counter and it's activated every time it crashes or quits as many people say in the game's forum. So here is what you need to do.
1. Delete everything from cloud and console. Start a new game.
2. Play the game naturally until the mission about Sal Marcano. By this time you should distribute each district equally. After the first three, give one to each and after the sixth, do the same. Don't give more than one to a single person in a row. So do something like Vito, Cas, Burke. Vito, Cas, Burke. Don't touch the side loyalty missions by this point.
3. Exit the game and sync to cloud.
4. Go offline. Start the 3 side missions and finish them. (You dont need to play the delivery ones which increase rackets' earn).
5. If you get a crash or you are forced to quit by any bug, delete local, go online, download cloud, go offline and play the missions again.
6. After you finish all parts of them (you get a cutscene after each), exit the game and go online. Achievement should pop.
This is how I did it. But I did it with the physical copy of the game unpatched but I don't think that matters.
Why do all these? This is to prevent the game to stuck this achievement's counter. I think the counter is divided to 3. Feel free to post your thoughts below. Thanks.

So, in theory, could I do all but the last of each Underboss’s missions and then back out? That way I’d only have to play 3 missions without risking a crash?
That would make sense but I’m pretty sure you don’t need to do all the side missions to achieve loyalty, as I got the “Trust” achievement after assigning the first racket in the third district I was giving to Cassandra.

I'll do the whole 3 missions just to be safe. Its the way I unlocked it. I got trust in another playthrough after assigning the whole CITY to Vito, so it seems that trust works differently.

To get this trophy you need to have kept all 3 underbosses on your side and also reach full loyalty. You can accomplish this by giving each 3 districts(2 extra then the one they come out with through their introductions). Giving each 3 allows you to accomplish each underbosses side missions of which there are 5 per. Finish those for full loyalty.
Okay, so after about two years, I decided to go back to this game and unlock the other three achievements. On the new generation of Xbox, of course. Xbox Series X for clarification.
I followed a walkthrough written by SPΛΙΝΤΞRCΞΛΛ.
Having a physical copy of Mafia 3 (not DE), I installed it with all the add-ons. When I turned on the game for the first time, I received a message that the game cannot be updated and I have to play "offline" (being online at the same time).
After a few hours of play, I went to the Microsoft store and the game automatically updated to the Definitive Edition.
During my gameplay, the console turned off/froze once and I closed the game twice while turning off the console in Instant On mode. Probably by some updates. In addition, I was forced once to delete the record from my console and load the one from the cloud. And I also died once.
The situations mentioned above took place before the start of additional missions for each of the bosses.
At the beginning of the game, I took over the area for Cas, then for Vito, then for Burke.
Then I distributed the city successively to Burke, Vito, Cas. Another three the same - Burke, Vito, Cas.
SPΛΙΝΤΞRCΞΛΛ wrote that he went out and saved the game to the cloud. I didn't do it, risking a crash, which fortunately didn't happen. Before going to Donovan to get information about Sal, I took care of side missions for bosses. - "IRA don't ask", "45 in my hand" and "I need a favour".
After completing the last mission (in my case for Burke), the achievement unlocked.
Summarizing.
- it doesn't really matter what version you play on (DE or not DE).
- the game can hang and turn off as much as you want, as long as you do not do optional missions for bosses. Unless they fixed it and now the game normally updates the state of the game and even during them you can disable the game. Personally, I didn't want to check it.
- divide the city for each equally. Everyone should have three districts at the end of the game.
- complete all 5 missions for each of the three bosses (15 in total) preferably in one sitting. Just to be sure.
- profit-increasing delivery missions are not required for this achievement.
- someone mentioned that talking to Nicki counts. This is not true. The only time I talked to her was to get information about the business. I never talked to her again.
- accepting each subsequent optional mission for the bosses, I talked to them until the interaction icon disappeared, but I don't think it would matter at all.

Missable! Glitched!
Glitch Warning: Reported glitched as of Patch 1.06. Trophy is achievable on earlier patches. If you have the Retail version, cancel and delete all patches and play on base version v1.00.
Loyal state is achieved after completing the side missions for all your Underbosses. It goes without saying that each of the Underbosses needs to be alive so you should only attempt this in your “Flip” playthrough by handing out the districts equally. Each side mission has 5 parts to it.
Cassandra - See 0.45 in My Hand trophy
Vito - See I Need a Favor trophy
Burke - See IRA Don’t Ask trophy
