I believe the answer is:

at will

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

'as one wishes?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'not leaving list of bequests alone' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'list of bequests' could be 'will' (list of bequests given after someone's death) and 'will' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'at' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for at will that I've seen before include "Whenever one pleases, say fire rifle" , "when one wants" , "Whenever one wishes" , "When I choose" , "Fire .. .... - whenever you're ready" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
