Your estate plan, then, will not control that real property. They will not control the title to that deed. A life estate means that you have retained the right to live there and possess the property during your lifetime, but at your death, it’s going to be transferred to the remainder men that are named in that deed. Your estate plan will have typically no effect then on that deed because when you die because the person that’s receiving it at your death, it’s their asset then, no longer yours.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
