A life estate can be released by the owner of the life estate by a written, signed release drafted in the same form as a deed. The release must then be recorded in the land records to clear the title. The life estate will be extinguished when the life tenant dies. In that case a death certificate must be recorded in the land records.

What are lifetime rights on a deed?

if i understand you, it is synonymous with a "life estate"...it is a reservation added to a deed by an owner of the property at some point in time...it states that that owner may have full and exclusive use of the building and property for the rest of their natural lives...the only ways to get rid of this "life estate" are 2-fold...either the person who holds the reservation dies and you can provide a death certificate showing the death, or the person who holds the reservation executes a deed to extinguish their interest or joins in with the current owner in executing a deed, so as to extinguish their interest...hope this helps...steve

Why do you as the wife of one of three siblings selling their late parents house have to also sign the deed over to the new owners?

At common law, a wife had a right to a life estate in one-third of her husband's estate upon his death. That right is called dower. It evolved during the time when only men could own property. A wife could not be deprived of that right by any transfers made by her husband during his life unless she signed the deed to release her dower rights. Most states have abolished dower rights. Some states that have retained the concept of dower have expanded it to include a life estate in any and all land owned by the husband. You need to sign the deed to release your dower rights and clear the title to the property.

How is title on property conveyed after the death of the grantor in a life estate deed?

I will assume that the 'grantor' conveyed property to you and reserved a life estate. If that life tenant has died their life estate is extinguished. You need to record a Death Certificate in the land records to show proof of their death. You are now the fee owner and the property is free and clear of the life estate. You can convey the property by any type of deed listing you as the grantor. You could add a statement at the end of the deed stating that the life tenant (name) died on (date) and a Death Certificate is recorded in (recording reference). You could also attach a Death certificate to the deed of conveyance and record both at the same time.
