to leave = 'to leave a bequest to'

[Jonathan Lighter]

The Salvation Army is running a commercial urging you to leave them your
money when you're dead.  An old guy tells an off-camera interviewer, "I am
choosing to leave them in my will. I have chosen to leave them in my will."

No context suggests (or, since this a TV commercial, ever would suggest)
that he'd ever thought about cutting the SA out of his will. Thus "leave,"
as above.
