leave/bequeath
Explanation:
The dictionary gives "lasciare in eredità", and I don't know if "lego" is an unusual usage or not - perhaps an Italian native can enlighten me. But it means "bequeath" in Latin:

I give (bequeath) my shares


Explanation:
In a formal will drafted by a lawyer in US EN, it would be "bequeath." However, choice of words in a holographic will is less predictable. I would choose based on the tone of the entirel document.

neutral  mrrafe: See also my answer but I failed to consider that lego could mean lasciare. So leave could be the most appropriate, depending on overall tone. If there were a dispute, the court would have to examine the original IT.

  -> I think you can say give, leave, or bequeath. They all mean the same thing as far as I'm aware.
