Don't know exactly as never been involved but don't most of these "bequests" come about as a response to death / inheritance tax and a means for a family to retain a home albeit with restrictions on their former freedoms and the need to accept "visitors".
Recent TV prog had a property on their that they had taken over as family could not pay taxes and NT was a way of staying "in residence".
Would be a little surprised if they all left property to NT as they were so good? I used to be a member and found the organisation was on occasion blooming awful.

That's certainly one of the reasons property is left to NT, but there are many others too. Frequently it is done simply because somebody wants to ensure that a property is not divided up or they want to hand it to the nation for genuinely benevolent reasons.
