deed holder
Property rights bearer
A deed holder is the person or entity whose name appears on a property deed as the legal owner.
The term emphasizes possession of the document that proves ownership rather than the ownership itself, though in practice the two are equivalent: The deed holder must sign off on any changes to the property.
In contexts involving multiple owners, each person listed is a deed holder.
