You care for your mother the past 3 years she has a life estate on the house you live in and wants to remove it turning the house over to us is that possible?
It depends on who gets the property after her life estate terminates. If the property was deeded to the children with life estate reserved for mom, then all she would need to do is transfer the life estate to the children as well. However, a life estate can also mean the property reverts to some other ownership, say, a charity or some other relatives. If the person who granted the deed with the life estate is still alive, perhaps a new deed can be created that will supersede the earlier one. Ask your real estate lawyer.
