We assume that a degree of the relationship between wealth and the father's military/religious status is captured by coefficients for the legator's military/religious title.
They usually provide that the legacy shall not be paid by the legator himself but out of the residuary estate.
Of the half that comes from charities, again a half is anonymous and reaches us as legacies, where the legator has no further say in how its money is spent.
It thus also makes it possible for the legator to gain promises from legatees.
