Simple Definition
Term: COGNIZEE
Definition: Cognizee is an old word that refers to a person who receives land in a legal agreement called a "fine." A fine was a way to settle a dispute over who owned the land. The person who was getting the land would bring a lawsuit against the person who was giving them the land. Then, they would come to an agreement in court, and the terms of the agreement would be written down and kept as a record. The person who was getting the land was called the cognizee. This way of transferring land was popular because it provided a permanent record of the transaction and made it difficult for anyone to dispute the ownership of the land later on.
