No. The life estate belongs to her as long as she is alive. If she granted a power of attorney and it is still valid, the attorney in fact could consent to a sale of the real estate or release the life estate. If there is no valid POA and the individual is not of sound mind, a petition to sell the real estate free of the life estate could be brought before the probate court.

A life estate means that someone else gets the property at her death. Who gets the property on her death? They can only sell it subject to the life estate, which reduces the value to the buyer.

Can you rent a car in ma and returned it ny?

If you rent a car in MA you can not return it to NY. The car is insured in MA, so if you drive out of state they will track down the car and make you return it. If the car was rented from NY that is a whole different story. You can return it in NY if you rented from NY. I did not make this question up. I'm just giving you the answer. (I think this is a stupid question anyway.)
