A more thorough explanation:

Devise

Devise refers to a gift given by means of the will of a decedent of an interest in real property.

For example, if a person writes in their will that they want to leave their house to their daughter, that is a devise.

When someone dies, they may leave behind property that they want to give to someone else. A devise is a way to give property to someone through a will. This property is usually real estate, like a house or a piece of land. The person who receives the property is called the devisee. The will must be legally valid and follow the rules of the state where the person lived.

The example given shows how a person can use a devise to leave their house to their daughter. This means that when the person dies, their daughter will become the owner of the house.
