The literal meaning of a legatee is one who receives a legacy. Specifically, in the law of wills and property, a legatee is an individual who receives a portion of a testator's estate, or rather the individual receives a legacy, which is personal property from a will. Although this term legatee is generally used to refer to individuals who inherit from a will regardless of whether it was real property or personal property, an individual who inherits real property from a will is known as a devisee.  3, record 2, English, - legatee

A legacy payable at a future time, certain to arrive, and not subject to conditions precedent, is vested, where there is a person "in esse" at the testator's death capable of taking when the time arrives, though his interest may be altogether defeated by his own death.... Thus a legacy to one to be paid when he attains the age of twenty-one years is a vested legacy, because it is given unconditionally and absolutely, and therefore vests an immediate interest in the legatee, of which the enjoyment only is deferred or postponed.(Black's, 5th ed., 1979, p. 1402)  1, record 7, English, - vested%20legacy

Cumulative and substituted gifts... Where two legacies are given by the same testamentary instrument to the same person described in the same terms in each case [and] are of different specified amounts, or have substantially different incidents, or if one is a residuary gift and the other a specific or pecuniary legacy, the second legacy is presumed to be cumulative, and prima facie the legatee takes both.("Williams’ Law Relating to Wills", 5th ed., 1980, p. 651)  1, record 27, English, - cumulative%20gift

A need for a "caeterorum" grant may arise, for example, when the assignee of part of the deceased's estate has obtained a grant limited to the property he claims, or a legatee has obtained a grant limited to the amount of his legacy, or a trustee or "cestui que trust" has obtained administration limited to the property of which the deceased was trustee. In all such cases those entitled to a general grant, whether on intestacy or with the will annexed, may take administration of the rest of the deceased's estate.(Hull & Cullity, Macdonell, Sheard and Hull on Probate Practice, 3rd ed., 1981, p. 268)  1, record 28, English, - caeterorum%20grant

Disclaimer of an onerous legacy. The doctrine of election must not be confused with the right of a legatee to disclaim an onerous legacy. Where a testator makes two distinct bequests in the same will to the same person, one of which happens to be onerous and the other beneficial, prima facie the legatee is entitled to disclaim the onerous legacy and to take the other.(Williams, Mortimer and Sunnucks, p. 878)  1, record 32, English, - beneficial%20legacy

The title of a legatee or devisee is not complete until the executor has assented to the legacy or devise.

Where it is clear that, in the event of the legatee or devisee predeceasing the testator, an alternative bequest is intended to be substituted, the alternative gift takes effect notwithstanding the death of the original legatee in the testator's lifetime; thus a gift to a person or his heirs has been treated as an alternative bequest and the next-of-kin surviving the testator will take.(Halsbury's Laws of England, 3rd ed., v. 39, 1962, p. 939)  1, record 34, English, - alternative%20bequest

The general law does not allow a legatee who predeceases the testator to take any benefit under his will. In that event the gift is said to lapse, with the consequence that it falls into residue, or if it is itself a share of residue, goes to the testator's next of kin.  2, record 35, English, - lapse

Conditional Legacies. Where a legacy is given subject to the fulfilment of a certain condition the legacy is said to be conditional, e. g. a gift conditional on a son entering his father's business. The condition must be possible of fulfilment, however, and thus a condition imposed on a legatee to climb Mount Everest in one day could not be upheld.  1, record 37, English, - conditional%20legacy
