agrante

Agrante is a term encountered in some legal and administrative texts to denote the party that makes a grant of rights, property, or privileges to another party. In practice, it functions similarly to the English terms grantor or conceder, though its usage is limited to certain jurisdictions, historical contexts, or translations. In many modern documents, more common terms such as grantor or licensor may be preferred.

In contract, property, or licensing transactions, the agrante is the source of the granted right and bears responsibilities related to the grant, such as ensuring the legality of the title or rights being transferred. The recipient is typically referred to as the grantee or concessionaire, depending on the context and jurisdiction. The exact scope of the agrante’s obligations can vary widely, reflecting differences in civil-law versus common-law traditions and the specific wording of the grant instrument.

Etymology and distribution: The form derives from the same root as grant, linked to the concept of giving or transferring rights. The term appears in older or regional legal texts in Romance-language contexts and is occasionally preserved in translations. It is not widely used in contemporary English-language law and may be encountered primarily in historical documents or specialized legal corpora.

See also: Grant, Grantor, Grantee, Concession, License. Notes: Because the term is relatively uncommon in modern English, readers may encounter it mainly in translations or jurisdiction-specific texts. When encountering agrante, it is useful to look for the defined counterpart in the document (often the grantee or concessionaire) to understand the grant relationship.
