Obligee or creditor
OBLIGEE or CREDITOR, contracts. The person in favor of whom some obligation
is contracted, whether such obligation be to pay money, or to do, or not to
do something. Louis. Code, art. 3522, No. 11.
2. Obligees are either several or joint, an obligee is several when the
obligation is made to him alone; obligees are joint when the obligation is
made to two or more, and, in that event, each is not a creditor for his
separate share, unless the nature of the subject or the particularity of the
expression in the instrument lead to a different conclusion. 2 Evans' Poth.
