This means that although the owner has transferred the ownership to someone else through the deed, he/she still retains the right to stay in the property till his/her death. This also implies that the grantee(s) cannot ask the grantor to vacate the property or cannot sell it off as long as the grantor is alive.

If the "owner" is the grantee, and the "former owner" the grantor, following your above explaination, it would be the grantor who had the "L/E" after their name, andthe grantee would not be able to sell the property or otherwise ask the grantor to vacate. So why would the grantee have the "L/E" after their name? Thanks!

You should show the property deed to him and he will guide you further in this regard. Thanks

However, in some states, it is required that the grantee should also sign the deed. Thanks
