A grantee is typically the person who receives an interest in real property, which can include ownership. However, the term 'owner' implies full ownership rights, while a grantee may have a lesser interest depending on the type of deed or agreement involved. Thus, while all owners are grantees, not all grantees are necessarily owners in the full sense.
