[WSBAPT] Life Estate resources

[Dalynne Singleton]

I am looking for life estate resources.  Anyone have a good primer or updated briefing on life estates?
I found nothing in WA Law of Wills, Estate Planning or Probate WA Probate Deskbooks.

My client (A) was provided a life estate in the mother's home after death along with his brother (C) in his mother's Will.  The home is owned 50% by another brother (B).
They are not on the same page at all.  A lives in the home, C moved recently and B is threating partition for sale.  A does not want to move and wants to honor his mother's wishes for him to be able to live there until he dies.

Thank you.
