A quick definition of legatee:

A legatee is someone who receives a gift from a person's will. This gift is usually something that belonged to the person who passed away, like money or jewelry. Legatees can be people or organizations. If someone inherits a house or land from a will, they are called a devisee. Another word for legatee is beneficiary.

A more thorough explanation:

The term legatee refers to an individual or organization that receives a legacy, which is personal property from a will. In other words, a legatee is someone who inherits a portion of a testator's estate through a will.

For example, if a person writes a will and leaves their car to their niece, then the niece is the legatee of the car. Similarly, if a person leaves a sum of money to a charity in their will, then the charity is the legatee of that money.

It's important to note that the term legatee is typically used to refer to individuals who inherit personal property from a will. If an individual inherits real property from a will, they are known as a devisee.

Overall, a legatee is simply someone who receives a gift from a will, whether it's personal property or money.
