My Two Cents
Although feoffee is a word that seems to have been relegated to feudal times, it still has modern uses today. More on that later. Let’s discuss some legal mumbo-jumbo today.
Isn’t feoffee a fun word to look at and say? Trips off the tongue nicely enough. Helpful hint: the “o” is silent and the stress is placed on the second syllable. Sort of, like, feh-FEE.
