What does SEISOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
legalrarehistorical
A person who takes seisin of land; one who takes legal possession of an estate.
A seisor was the party who actively acquired seisin, formally receiving a holding through the ceremony that made a transfer official. Historical records and property treatises use the term to distinguish the one acquiring a holding from the one giving it up, especially in disputes over whether a transfer had been properly completed. The word survives mainly in writing about medieval English tenure, where it appears alongside related spellings such as seizer and seizor. Outside that specialized history, seisor is essentially unused, since modern practice simply calls such a party a buyer, heir, or grantee.
