Bequest
A gift in a will of personal property known also as a "legacy". A residuary bequest is a gift of the residue of the testator`s personal estate, namely, of what is left after payment of debts and legacies. A specific bequest is, strictly, where a testator bequeaths to a person all his property of a certain class or kind, but it is commonly used to mean a legacy of a particular article e.g. a watch.
