Description

It is not uncommon for a will to provide that a person be devised a life estate interest in mineral or royalty interests, and on the death of that person, the remainder of the interest to pass to another party. This deed form provides for the owner of a life estate, devised under a will, to quit claim that life estate interest to the owner of the remainder interest. A District of Columbia Quitclaim Deed of Life Estate Interest Created Under A Will is a legal document that transfers ownership of real estate from the current owner, known as the life tenant, to the future owner, known as the remainder man. This type of deed is commonly used when a person wants to leave their property to someone else after their death while retaining the right to live on the property for the rest of their life.
