Read a random definition: adjectio dominii per continuationem possessionis

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.

that's insane
I think it's ridiculous sometimes how schools want to act like we're adults but then won't treat us like them sometimes.
It's like you either want to let us all sit at the adult table or just leave as at the kiddy table.

GULC said that? University of Tennessee offers daycare and has single parent clubs where they will help with babysitting and work with you to schedule exams. Talked to an ambassador who had a single mom of 3 in her class and the school helped best they could
