A gift given by means of the will of a decedent of an interest in real property.
Two types of wills are allowed under laws of North Dakota. They are the formal will and the holographic will. A formal will must be handwritten or typed and dated and signed by the testator (the person making the will) and at least two qualified witnesses.
A bequest is the act of leaving property to a loved one through your Will. An inheritance describes the property itself, as well as the rights an individual has to property after your passing. In other words, a bequest is more about you, and the inheritance is more about your beneficiary on the receiving end.
Do I Need to Have My Will Notarized? No, in North Dakota, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, if you don't want to have your will witnessed, you can have it notarized instead to make it legal.
North Dakota recognizes holographic (handwritten) wills so long as the signature and material portions of the document are in the testator's handwriting. A holographic will in North Dakota does not have to be witnessed in order to be valid.
General Bequests For example, you might say something along the lines of I hereby leave $300,000 to my nephew Aaron, rather than I hereby bequeath my primary residence at 4566 Maple Street in New Hampshire, CT to my nephew Aaron. The bequest is paid using the general pool of assets in the estate.

Traditionally, a devise referred to a gift by will of real property. The beneficiary of a devise is called a devisee. In contrast, a bequest referred to a gift by will of personal property or any other property that is not real property.
Applying the archaic legal definitions, the difference between a legatee and a devisee is the kind of property they inherit. A legatee inherits personal property (jewelry, vehicles, cash, etc.) while a devisee inherits real property, such as the family home.
