I need a US English translation for this please.
No guesses, I need the term actually used in the US. The deed deals with the administration of a specific bequest in a will.
Le présent acte a pour objet la délivrance de legs limitée aux biens mobiliers ci-après par Monsieur xxx au profit de Monsieur yyy , ainsi que la liquidation et le partage de la succession de Madame zzz

(AmE + BrE) distribution of testamentary gift (devise of land or legacy/bequest of chattels)
Same distinction in the US of devise - gift of real property made by will - Restatement, Property §12 (1), barrons US law dictionary.
NB gift would catch a *leasehold* as a chattel real in E&W and real chattel in US!. But informed comments are earnestly invited.
