has relinquished/abandoned Explanation: I think the closest EN word is relinquished but I don't know why they thought it was a good idea to describe the property that way. It's more a legal characterization whereas "abandoned" might have been more of a physical description, if that's what they meant. See cite for possible problems here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-07-15 21:02:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think this is wrong and Phil is right - the testator was trying to say they "left" the property at death, not that they abandoned it. The will probably goes on to name the legatee that should receive the property. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/abandoned_property |

2 hrs confidence:
has devised (land) Explanation: It would be unusual if the testator or testatrix has 'disclaimed' those real properties. Leave and left are OK, but bequeathed is legalistically problematical and possibly professionally negilgent - though idiomatically and journalistically common - as may suggest the contents-only of such buildings and villas etc. Example sentence(s):
