covenantee

Receives the promise

A covenantee is the person to whom a covenant is made—the party who receives the promise or benefits from the agreement.

The term appears primarily in legal contexts involving contracts, property transfers, and formal agreements: The covenantee may enforce the terms if the covenantor fails to perform.

The counterpart who makes the promise is the covenantor.
