A legal possessor is someone who has possession of something, like a piece of land or an object, and has the right to control it. This means that they are allowed to use it and keep others from using it without permission. There are different types of possessors, like those who believe they have the right to possess something and those who know someone else has a better right to it. But a legal possessor is someone who has the legal right to possess something, like a buyer who has a contract to buy something but doesn't yet own it.
A legal possessor is someone who has the right to possess property, either because they are currently in possession of it or because they have a legal agreement that gives them the right to possess it. This is different from a legal owner, who may hold the title to the property but does not necessarily have the right to possess it.
These examples illustrate the concept of legal possession and the different types of possessors. A legal possessor has the right to possess property, while a possessor bona fide believes they have the right to possess it and a possessor mala fide knows they do not have the right to possess it but keeps it anyway.
