All of these matters are addressed by the probate process in the state in which the deceased person lived. Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased personâs estate. A decedentâs probate estate consists of assets left owned by the decedent in his or her name alone. Before any beneficiary or heir of a deceased person can receive property that belonged to the deceased person, the estate must be properly administered and all debts of the estate must be cleared.
A life estate is the right to the possession, use and income from a property for the duration of one's natural life. That person cannot leave the property to anyone else in their will. After the life estate holder's death the life estate is extinguished and the property is owned by the fee owners (or remainders) free and clear of the life estate. There are different methods used to create a life estate in different states.
