The heirs can only inherit what the decedent owned. If she didn't have clear title then you won't inherit clear title. At some point the title will need to be cleared up. That will be whenever you wish to sell or mortgage the property.

The person with the life estate has the right to the use and possession of the property for the duration of their natural life. The person who was given the property in the will is the fee owner and will own the property free and clear after the death of the life tenant or when the life tenant releases the life estate in writing.
Why would someone leave a life estate?
I will assume you mean to ask why a testator would leave a life estate to another person in the testator's will.A testator provides another person with a life estate to make certain that person will not be "put out" by the people who inherit the property. They want to make certain the life estate holder will have the use and possession of a home for the duration of their natural life. It is a way of still taking care of someone you love even after you have died while still preserving the property for your heirs. Upon the death of the life tenant the heirs, or remainders, own the property free and clear of the life estate.
