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.
When you have a life estate, you are called the âlife tenant.â For example, you can sell or give your home to your children, but retain a âlife estate,â thereby reserving the right to live in, use, enjoy, and control the home until you die. Your children would be called the âremaindermen.â.
