Noun

1. {{lb|en|legal}} {{non-gloss|Used in instances of [[title]] of [[property]] (such as a vehicle) to refer to the person who has ''right of property'', as opposed to the party that merely has ''right of possession''. The party that only has right of possession is referred to as a [[registered owner]], and in the event the registered owner fails to pay off the lien according to the agreed-to terms, the '''lienholder''' has the right to invoke [[repossession]] of the property (vehicle).}}
