The life estate provides you with an absolute legal right to use the house, rent-free, for the rest of your life. When you pass away, the right of occupancy passes to the remainderpersons (your child(ren) or whomever you transferred ownership to).

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.
