bequest test

When you are about to stop living, thinking of having to leave your life's work as a legacy to anyone else can be very haunting, can it not. Specially if you have tended to this all your life with meticulous care and have been a reasonable success at it. I dont know, maybe if you have gazillions saved up in the swiss banks then maybe you could be re-assured that a large fraction of it will be put to relevant use. But for the common man it is a daunting task - one of the worries he/she will probably take their last breaths with. Is there a way to convince them ? The only way I see is for them to accept the fact that it was never theirs and that their work is done and they dont have to worry about it anymore.
How about the pressure this puts on the beneficiaries ? Ah thats the price you ought to pay to see the cattle egrets fly back home while you sip coffee and ponder why you are here.
