A life estate is a legal arrangement to transfer property automatically upon a personâs death. One person is given an interest in the property for his or her lifetime. This person is called a life tenant (LT). At the death of the life tenant, property will pass automatically to one or more other individuals or organizations. The people or organizations that receive the property at death are called remaindermen.
1 Who gets what? 2  The life tenant may think that the life estate is valuable and that he or she should get most of the sale proceeds. 3  The remaindermen may argue that the life tenantâs interest is worth little (since the life tenant could die any minute) and that the bulk of the sale proceeds should go to them.
