Sentences with DEVISEE (5)
Devise, in legal usage, is property used to denote a gift by will of real property, and he to whom it is given is called the devisee.
And as a first step to the further discussion, as well as for its own sake, I shall briefly state the evidence touching the executor, the heir, and the devisee.
But when a similar joinder of times was allowed between a legatee or devisee (legatarius) and his testator, the same explanation was offered.
For although there is no difference in principle between a devise of a piece of land by will and a conveyance of it by deed, the dramatic resemblance of a devisee to an heir is stronger than that of a grantee.
Their reasoning was that "the devise is quasi [370] an act of law, which shall inure without attornment, and shall make a sufficient privity, and so it may well be apportioned by this means." /1/ So it was said by Lord Ellenborough, in a case where a lessor and his heirs were entitled to terminate a lease on notice, that a devisee of the land as heres factus would be understood to have the same right.
