   [1913 Webster]

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.
