Grantor
Categories: Trusts and Estates
The term “grantor” basically represents a fancy way of saying “seller,” or, if no money is involved, a fancy way of saying “giver.”
Think of it this way: if you sell someone something (say, your collectible Breaking Bad bobbleheads) you grant them title to those bobbleheads. You’re the grantor (the one granting title) and they are the grantee (the one getting title granted to them). You are the one who bobbles.
