A bequest motive seeks to provide an economic justification for the phenomenon of gratuitous, intergenerational transfers of Wealth economics wealth . In other words, to explain why people leave money behind when they die. The most common explanation for this is altruism , in which it is held that the disponer gains some form of satisfaction from knowing that his her heirs will enjoy their inherited wealth. An example might be a parent leaving a child the family home. Another common explanation is accidental bequest, developed by economists Yaari 1965 and Davies 1980 . Here it is not assumed that the disponer gains any specific benefit from leaving a bequest, but rather that lifetime is uncertain, and so she he holds http en.wikipedia.org wiki Precautionary savings recautionary savings to insure him herself against the risk of living too long. Finally, exchange bequest occurs where disponers engage in a sort of strategic game in which potential beneficiaries must render a non marketable service in exchange for the promise of inherited wealth. The most widely read model of exchange bequest was published by Bernheim, Summers and Shleifer 1985 . Which bequest motive theory most realistically represents the intentions of estate planners is unclear. Attempts to test the theories empirically are mired by poor availability of data about wealth holdings. See also Family economics References Bernheim, B.D. Shleifer, A.

Cleanup rewrite date February 2011 John Ferguson 1787 1856 , was a Scottish businessman and philanthropist. He was the founder of the Ferguson bequest . Ferguson was born at Irvine, Ayrshire , 28 February 1787. His father, William Ferguson, was a shipmaster of that port, and his mother, Mary, was the only daughter of John Service of Holms of Caaf, a small property near Dalry, Ayrshire . The Services were an Ayrshire family, some of whom had been lenders of money. The father of Mary Service followed this profession, and was a man of penurious habits and peevish temper. His sons one after another left him for America, where they were under the shelter of an uncle. Ferguson was educated at Ayr, was for some time in a banker s office, went to America in connection with the affairs of one of his uncles, returned after four years, and in 1810 settled with his mother at Irvine. She succeeded to large sums on the death of her brother George and then of her father. The fortune of the Fergusons was increased by the death in 1828 of another uncle, who left 200,000l., and of a third who died in 1842 and left 400,000l. These brothers seem to have had no aim in life but to amass money. Ferguson, by his sagacity and knowledge of the money market, increased the fortune, till at his death it amounted to 1,247,514l. 14s. 5d. He was a man of somewhat ordinary character, undecided, was never married, and for the last few years of his life lived in comparative seclusion. After consulting with Mr. John Henderson of Park, a well known merchant of Glasgow, who was his intimate friend and acted as his private banker, and Mr. Matthew Montgomery of Kelvinside , he devoted the residue of his property, after providing for family legacies and making other provisions, to the objects of what is known as the Ferguson Bequest Fund . The sum available for it was no less than 400,000l. The trustees were instructed to devote the interest towards the maintenance and promotion of religious ordinances and ... more details
