Sure. The unrestricted life tenant can do anything on the property he or she wants to, except perhaps waste or encumber it, for as long as he or she lives. This could include, for example leasing it to someone else entirely.
It's as if the life tenant "owns" the property, but only for life.
a tenant with life-time rights would be a holder of a life estate, and would not
have a landlord.
If it was given to the child, then no.
Person has lifetime dowry to live in home on the property, but property is deeded to someone else. If the person with the lifetime dowry moves out of the home and then moves backs did they relinquish thier lifetime rights?
In most cases, children do not have an automatic right to their parents' property while the parents are still alive. Parents have the right to decide how they want to distribute their property during their lifetime. Children may have inheritance rights when a parent passes away depending on the laws of the specific jurisdiction.
nope
No. A life estate is extinguished when he life tenant dies.
Property rights are settled in court by a court decree.
You mean a contract to sell a property in which the parent has a life estate? No. If the children want to sell their future interest in the property, it is separate from the rights of the parent with a life estate. Similarly, the children do not need to be asked if the the parent wants to sell (or mortgage) his or her life estate to someone else. On the other hand, if the buyers want clear title, with no life estate, then you have a different problem: terminating the life estate, by merging it with the future estate, and what's in it for you?
If you are talking about a life estate, the answer is no unless stated in the life estate.
As long as your mother is the owner of the property she has the right to convey it to anyone. If she conveyed it to your sister then your sister is now the owner and you have no rights in the property.
Generally, being incarcerated does not take away a person's property rights. However, if there is a mortgage to pay, property taxes, insurance and utility bills, the property could be lost for non-payment. If you are dwelling in the property and paying for the upkeep and maintenance, then you should request your parent transfer ownership to you. If you need to manage the property for your parent then he/she must execute a Power of Attorney that names you as the attorney-in-fact. That would give you the authority to stand in for your parent, sign your parent's name and manage the property. The parent could also transfer ownership to the children if he/she will be incarcerated for a long time. The situation changes when a parent is found criminally responsible for the death of the other parent. In that case the incarcerated parent's right to any marital property is wiped out and title passes to the children. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your area who could review your situation and determine what your rights and options are.
No. You have no rights in a parent's property while they are living. An inheritance comes from the property a decedent owns at the time of death. Death makes that property 'inheritable'. There is no such thing as an inheritance from a living person.
Why should adult children have any rights to the personal gains of a parent, unless they worked to add to them?
