Joint account - end of solvency - what's left? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

legacy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what's left?' is the definition.
(what's left behind by a deceased person)

'joint account end of solvency' is the wordplay.
'joint' becomes 'leg' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'account' becomes 'ac' (abbreviation for account).
'end of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'solvency' is 'y'.
'leg'+'ac'+'y'='LEGACY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for legacy that I've seen before include "A bequest, something left in a will" , "estate?" , "Sort of gift" , "Something bequeathed in will" , "Gift of property by will" .)
