The life tenant may be able to sell her interest in the life estate however, the term would still depend on her natural life. Upon her death the life estate is extinguished. Also, she will be responsible for any waste or damages to the property caused by her assignee. She should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law who can review her situation and explain her rights and options.
