West's Encyclopedia of American Law:
Legacy |
A disposition of personal property by will.
In a narrow technical sense, a legacy is distinguishable from a devise, a gift by will of real property. This distinction, however, will not be permitted to defeat the intent of a testator — one who makes a will — and these terms can be applied interchangeably to either personal property or real property if the context of the will demonstrates that this was the intention of the testator.
A general legacy, a demonstrative legacy, and a specific legacy represent the three primary types of legacies.
Devil's Dictionary:
legacy |
n.
A gift from one who is legging it out of this vale of tears.
