Definition: A disposition of property by will. Traditional real estate terminology emphasizes real property, while Florida's Probate Code uses devise for real or personal property.
Example
A valid will leaves a particular parcel to the testator's daughter.
Keep the distinction clear
A devise is the transfer under the will; the devisee is the recipient. Property passing by intestate succession is a different mechanism.
