[WSBAPT] Life Estate resources

The lack of authority on this subject has been a proper forever. This explains why we should all avoid creating life states.

Dalynne,



Check the WSBA Real Estate Deskbook. But I suspect partition is where you will end up.



Sincerely,



Tom

Subject: [WSBAPT] Life Estate resources



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.
