A legacy is anything a person leaves to someone else.
In law, the legacy of a testator includes the full body of bequests in his last will and testament.
In politics, the legacy of any politician, especially one leaving office, includes the full body of laws he authored, sponsored, or signed, judges he appointed, and policies he put into force and effect.
