What is the party to whom the obligation is owed called?

  1. Obligor

  2. Surety

  3. Obligee

  4. Principal

The correct answer is: Obligee

The party to whom the obligation is owed is referred to as the obligee. This term is important in the context of contractual obligations and agreements, where one party (the obligor) has a responsibility to perform certain duties or make payments to the other party, who is the obligee. In a bail bond scenario, for example, the obligee is typically the person or entity that is expecting a performance or payment, such as the court or the individual for whom the bail is posted. Understanding this relationship is crucial in navigating the legal aspects of bail bonds and obligations. The other terms refer to different roles within the bail process; for instance, the obligor is the party that has the duty to fulfill the obligation, the surety guarantees the obligation will be met, and the principal is typically the person being released on bail.
