A legatee is the person who gets money or property because a will says so. When someone dies and leaves you a house, a sum of money, or a particular thing by name, you are the legatee of that gift. Lawyers and court papers use this word; ordinary people more often say “the person they left it to.” Though actually, legatee and heir are not the same job. An heir is the person the law gives the leftover property to — often a child or a spouse — even if the will never names that gift. A legatee is named for a particular gift, called a legacy. You can be both at once. It is a calm paper-and-court word, not a dinner-table word.
