Crossword-Solution: GRANTEE 7 letters, 33 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 8

The grantee stepped exactly into the place of the _antecessor_; he inherited all his rights and all his burthens.

But the grantee often took possession of the whole of the land held by the _antecessor_, as if it were all alike his own.

All required of the grantee was that he or it should have the scrip properly surveyed upon the public domain by the county or district surveyor, and the land thus appropriated became the property of him or it, or his or its heirs and assigns, forever.

For although there is no difference in principle between a devise of a piece of land by will and a conveyance of it by deed, the dramatic resemblance of a devisee to an heir is stronger than that of a grantee.

Conversely as to the benefit of warranties made to a deceased grantee, his heir was the only person interested to enforce such warranties, because the land descended to him.
