Legal Definitions - appointee

Definition: A person who is appointed to a position or receives the benefit of a power of appointment.

For example, if a company appoints John as the new CEO, John is the appointee. Another example is when a person has the power to appoint someone to receive property, the person they choose is the appointee.

The term "permissible appointee" refers to a person who can be assigned appointive property under a power of appointment. This person is also known as the "object of the power of appointment" or simply the "object of the power".

These examples illustrate how an appointee is someone who is chosen or designated for a specific role or benefit, either by a company or an individual with the power to appoint.
