<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Long time caretaker promised real property by decedent in payment for providing care. Decedent's will provides:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>"If she survives me, I hereby give, devise and bequeath to Mary for her life, and then to Windy, the farm property legally described as ..."</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Does Mary receive in fee simple, an estate measured by her life (which she can alienate), a life estate for which she can collect income (but does not have to pay expenses), or some other possessory estate?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Or perhaps the scrivener just meant that if Mary did not survive the decedent it should go to Windy?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>You thoughts most valued and appreciated,<o:p></o:p></p>
