Norwegian term

loddeier

Norwegian to English Other Law (general)
Context: Rettsbok/Court Record. Final settlement and distribution of an estate. Sentence: ..." har utarbeida utkast til rettsbok for slutning og utluting i buet and sendt dette i kopi til buet sin loddeigar".

I'm not totally happy with the help I'm getting from my legal dictionaries on this one: "owner of a share of an estate"...."tilsv. co-heir". Can I use "co-heir" here?

They do seem to be the same person, though arving usually translates as "heir". I think we are talking about the (principal) beneficiary here. Others may receive legacies etc... I think they are called legatees.

I know what the dictionaries say...! I should perhaps have given more context. This will hopefully explain my confusion: " Bustyrar........har utarbeida utkast til rettsbok for slutning og utluting i buet og sendt dette i kopi til buet sin loddeigar. Vidare har arvingen mottatt framlegg til bustyrar sitt salær. Loddeigaren har gitt skriftleg tilbakemelding på at ho samtykker i til utkastet til rettsbok for slutning og utluting i buet.".
Hvem er hvem her? Det virker på meg som om "loddeiren" og "arvingen" refererer til samme person.
Til orientering - det er flere som mottar penger og andre gaver fra boet.

beneficiary

Patrick Chaffey's "Norsk Engelsk Juridisk Ordbok" has "1. beneficiary. 2. Person entitled to a share of an estate". If there is more than one beneficiary, and your sentence seems to mention only one, such a person would be a "co-beneficiary" (which is probably a better way of expressing Chaffey's second option above).
