A quick definition of specific legatee:

A specific legatee is someone who is named in a will to receive a certain piece of property or item after the owner has passed away. This can include things like jewelry, artwork, or other personal possessions. It is different from a general legatee, who receives a specified amount of money from the estate, or a residuary legatee, who receives whatever is left over after all other bequests have been fulfilled.

A more thorough explanation:

A specific legatee is a person who is named in a will to receive a specific item or property. This person is also known as a legatee or a beneficiary.

If a person's will states that their car should be given to their niece, then the niece is a specific legatee.
If a person's will states that their antique collection should be given to a museum, then the museum is a specific legatee.

These examples illustrate how a specific legatee is someone who is designated to receive a specific item or property from a deceased person's estate.
