Office Grant: A type of grant where a legal officer gives someone the right to own property because the original owner cannot or will not transfer the property themselves. This often happens with tax deeds. Grants can be agreements that create rights, like leases or licenses, or they can be the formal transfer of real property through a deed.
An office grant is a type of grant where a legal officer transfers property rights because the owner is either unwilling or unable to execute a deed to pass title. This usually happens in the case of a tax deed.
These examples illustrate how an office grant is used to transfer property rights when the owner is unable or unwilling to do so themselves. It allows for the legal transfer of ownership to a new party without the need for the owner to execute a deed.
