FAQ

There is no simple way to reverse a life estate because a life estate deed is a legal transfer of the title of a property. This is legally binding and the transaction is complete when the life estate is executed. Essentially, in order to reverse a life estate both parties would need to agree to make it happen.

A life tenant does not have complete control over the property because they do not own the whole bundle of rights. The life tenant cannot sell, mortgage or in any way transfer or encumber the property. If either party wants to sell the property, both the life tenant and remainderman must agree.

The person with the right to use the property is a life tenant. The individual with a future right is called the remainderman. Once the life tenant passes away, the remainderman owns the property outright.

An additional potential problem with a Life Estate is that it does not offer creditor protection to the beneficiary, so if the heir has a debt or is sued, the creditor or court can come after the house. As you can see, a traditional Life Estate has the potential to create major conflict within a family.

If you hold the life estate your obligated to make repairs that are essential to the preservation of the property, your obligated to pay the interest on any outstanding mortgages and Property taxes.
