'having left' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally define each other.

(Other definitions for testate that I've seen before include "With a legally valid will" , "Person willing" , "Having made a will before death" , "State of having made a will" , "Having made a valid will" .)
