A life estate deed allows you to transfer property while reserving an interest during your lifetime or during the lifetime of someone else. Once the person who holds the life estate passes away, the Grantee fully owns the property.
A life estate deed is a legal document used in real estate to grant ownership of property to an individual for the duration of their life. When that individual passes away, property ownership automatically transfers to another person or entity of the original owners choosing.
A deed with a reserved life estate is used when you wish to both pass your real property to someone upon your death and also protect the property from nursing-home liens. This document may also make it possible for you to live in and maintain control of the property until your death.
In most transfers in Michigan, the seller conveys a warranty deed to the buyer which includes the following six covenants: Covenant of Seisin Grantor guarantees they have legal title and possession of the property.
The person holding the life estate the life tenant possesses the property during their life. The other owner the remainderman has a current ownership interest. Yet they cannot take possession until the death of the life estate holder. The life tenant has full control of the property during their lifetime.
