Grantee describes the person or entity that receives a right, interest or estate under a grant, typically by deed. In practice this includes the transferee under a deed of grant of an easement (right of way), the tenant under a lease, or the lender (mortgagee/chargee) under a legal charge. The counterpart is the grantor (England & Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland) or granter (Scotland). In a Scottish disposition the grantee is often termed the disponee.Grantee is a descriptive term used across conveyancing and property transactions rather than a single defined statutory concept, though specific instruments or legislation may define it for their purposes.Key features: the grantee acquires the benefit of covenants and rights granted; their identity must be certain for the deed to take effect; and registration (HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, Land Registry of Northern Ireland, or the Property Registration Authority of Ireland) will usually be required to secure title or priority. Tax and duty consequences (for example SDLT, LBTT or Irish stamp duty) and third‑party consents may arise on grants in favour of the grantee.Usage is broadly consistent, though terms such as lessee, transferee, mortgagee or disponee are often used in the relevant instrument.
