Definition of next devisee
Definition: A recipient of property by will who receives the remainder of an estate in tail, as distinguished from the first devisee.
Examples:
- John's will left his estate to his wife for her lifetime, and then to his son. The son is the next devisee.
- Mary's will left her estate to her daughter for her lifetime, and then to her granddaughter. The granddaughter is the next devisee.
These examples illustrate how the next devisee is the person who receives the remainder of an estate after the first devisee. In both cases, the first devisee is a person who receives the property for a limited time, and then the next devisee receives the property after that time has passed.
