Legacy by particular title

A particular legacy is an instruction in a will that designates a specific asset that the testator wishes to pass on to one or more specific persons. 

This asset may be a personal item, a real estate proprety, a sum of money or any other specific asset (e.g., my jewelry to my daughter Anne, a sum of $500 to my son John Smith).

In short, a particular legacy concerns specific assets designated in a will, unlike a universal legacy, which concerns a share of the entire estate.
