bequeath

Read a random definition: Federal Employees' Compensation Act

A quick definition of bequeath:

Bequeath: When someone dies, they may leave behind things they owned. Bequeathing means giving away these things as gifts through a special paper called a will. This is usually used for things like clothes, jewelry, or money. Sometimes, people use bequeathing to give away houses or land too. It's like leaving a present for someone after you're gone.

A more thorough explanation:

Bequeath

To bequeath means to give personal property as a gift through a will. This is when someone who has died leaves their belongings to someone else. Bequeathing is usually used for giving personal property, like jewelry or furniture. However, it can also be used for giving real property, like a house or land, if the will clearly says so.

When my grandmother passed away, she bequeathed her antique jewelry collection to me in her will.

My uncle bequeathed his house to his son in his will.

These examples show how someone can give their personal or real property to someone else through a will. In the first example, the grandmother gave her jewelry to her grandchild. In the second example, the uncle gave his house to his son. Both of these gifts were given through a will, which is a legal document that outlines how someone's belongings will be distributed after they die.
