Legatee means

A beneficiary of a real property transfer only.

An executor named in the will.

Any person designated to receive a transfer by will of personal property.

A legatee is a beneficiary who receives personal property under a will. In probate, real property is typically bequeathed to a devisee, while personal property—like money, jewelry, or other items—is left to a legatee. The executor is the person appointed to administer the estate, and a guardian is appointed by the court to care for someone who needs protection. So the best description is someone designated to receive a transfer by will of personal property.

A guardian appointed by the court.
