Devise: A gift of real estate in your will is called a “devise,” not a bequest. For example, you would include a devise in your will to transfer ownership of your house to someone else.
To make a bequest, leave written instructions behind, typically in a will. A probate court may need to validate your will for the assets to transfer to their new owner. Assets such as life insurance policies, retirement accounts and trusts have pre-established beneficiaries and can be transferred outside probate court.
