I assume English is your first language. An alternative to dejar is legar which you may remember as it is similar to legacy which is what you are left in a will - Mardle, Dec 9, 2016

NOTA

Will es un Modal al que sigue un infinitivo sin to, y las oraciones interrogativas y negativas se construyen sin el auxiliar do.

And as a verb - to will.

He willed all of his money to charities.

Le dejó todo su dinero a asociaciones benéficas.

And as a noun.

He has no will of his own. / No tiene fuerza de voluntad.
