Life Estate with Remainder Interest: With this type, the remainder men are predetermined, and upon the life tenant's death, they immediately become the new owners of the property. 3. Life Estate with Power of Sale: In this scenario, the life tenant can sell or transfer the property during their lifetime with or without the consent of the remainder men. However, the remainder men still hold a future interest in the property. 4. Life Estate with Enhanced Life Estate Deed (Lady Bird Deed): This type of life estate allows the life tenant to retain control of the property while alive and also gives them the ability to transfer ownership to someone else or revoke the life estate without the consent of the remainder men.
