Legal Question in Real Estate Law in South Carolina
Right of Way
Grantee ''granted, bargained, sold and released'' to Grantor ''his heirs and assigns forever: A RIGHT OF WAY OVER AND ACROSS....shown as .048 acre strip''
Does Grantee retain ownership of this strip and Grantor has only the right to cross (ingress/egress) or does Grantor now own the strip?

Re: Right of Way
First of all, the Grantor is the one that owns and then transfers property. The Grantee is the one that receives the property. I don't know if you just got the two confused or if there is a serious problem with whatever document your referring to.
Secondly, I cannot answer our question without seeing the whole document(s). Otherwise I would just be guessing and that is not what you want.
It sounds like an easement has been granted. Usually whoever grants the easement still owns the property and is simply giving another person permission to travel accross it.
I dont' know if that is the case with what you have or not.
