0 someone who receives money or property from a person who has died:
She then transferred the freehold to her intended legatees.
But, after all, it is a case in which the residuary legatees at that date had legal rights.
That man dies, and his legatee cannot be found.
A legacy can be either something useful or a burden on the legatee.
The tax falls not on the person who enjoys the big income and theoretically has the enjoyment of the capital, but on the residuary legatees.
The money is earned in the sense that the legatee will not have made any effort to earn the money.
If the costs are passed on, the legatee or the persons absolutely entitled can get an allowance for them.
It may have no effect when he is a specific legatee.
Is this limited to residuary legatees or to all legatees?
