Caron,
If you are going from Legacy to Legacy always use a Legacy file unless
for some reason you need to go to an earlier version of Legacy.
If you import a Legacy tree that has some overlap with the existing
tree, you then need to use Tools - merge to merge duplicates.
Note there is currently a bug in the merge IF you edit notes within the
merge to combine information. You can choose to edit one of the people
during the merge and that's the best way to access and edit notes if
necessary currently.

Hi Caron,
There is a way to import a gedcom into your existing family tree.
But, I am not sure I understand your question.
If you already have the tree complete, why not just send it to him
before you integrate it with the rest of your work?
One you have integrated it with your existing family file, you can
either send him the whole thing or will have to re-create the gedcom
with just his family in it.
So, first things first.
Here is the Legacy help file that will walk you through the import
https://legacyfamilytree.com/TourImport.asp
Because the initial person is related to your family [husband of your
daughter], you will have to merge him once the tree is imported.
There may be other duplicates if the couple [your son in law and
daughter] have children.
If you want your S-I-L to have all your data, then send him the whole
file, If not, then send the one you made just for him.
Does he have software that will open a gedcom?
You can send a gedcom as an attachment to an email.
