A quick definition of cognizee:

Term: COGNIZEE

Definition: Cognizee is an old word that refers to a person who receives land in a legal agreement called a "fine." A fine was a way to settle a dispute over who owned the land. The person who was getting the land would bring a lawsuit against the person who was giving them the land. Then, they would come to an agreement in court, and the terms of the agreement would be written down and kept as a record. The person who was getting the land was called the cognizee. This way of transferring land was popular because it provided a permanent record of the transaction and made it difficult for anyone to dispute the ownership of the land later on.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The grantee of land in a conveyance by fine.

Example: In the past, when someone wanted to sell their land, they would use a legal process called a "fine" to transfer ownership to the buyer. The person buying the land was called the cognizee.

This example illustrates that the cognizee is the person who receives the land in a conveyance by fine.

Note: The term "fine" was a legal process used in the past to transfer ownership of land. It involved a fictitious or actual lawsuit to determine the true possessor of the land. The cognizee was the person who received the land in this process.
