possessor
One who has
A possessor is someone who possesses something—an owner or holder.
Legal contexts distinguish between possessors and rightful owners: The possessor of stolen goods may not know they were stolen.
The word appears in grammar to describe words showing ownership: pronouns like "my" and "her" are possessor forms.
