Who is referred to as the transferor?

In the context of property transactions, the term "transferor" specifically refers to the individual or entity that is executing the transfer of property rights to another party. This includes various types of property transactions, such as sales, gifts, or leases. The transferor is typically the seller or grantor, who legally conveys ownership or interests in the property to another party, known as the transferee.

Understanding the roles in a property transaction is crucial, especially in the context of auctions. The auctioneer manages the sale but does not take ownership; that role is designated to the transferor and the transferee. While the buyer is involved in the transaction, they are actually the recipient of the property being transferred, hence they do not hold the title of transferor.
