Yes. That is exactly how a life estate works. In her will, your mother could grant a life estate to you with the remainder to your siblings after your death. You would not have any ownership rights in the property and thus couldn't sell it, nor would you own any interest that could pass by a will. Upon your death the life estate would be extinguished and your siblings would own the property free and clear of your life estate.

By that arrangement you would have the right to the use and possession of the property for the duration of your natural life. You would be responsible for paying the taxes and maintenance costs and you must not cause any waste or damage to the property.

You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law ASAP. She/he can draft a proper will for your mother that meets the legal requirements for your jurisdiction and explain the options and consequences.

A life estate gives you the right to use a property during your lifetime, with ownership passing to someone else upon your death. Your mother can leave you a life estate in her will, but the property would ultimately pass to the remaining siblings upon your death as per her wishes. However, she should consult with a legal professional to ensure this is properly documented and implemented in accordance with relevant laws.

Why was Jesus's brothers and sisters considered half brothers and sisters?

Example: Let's say my mother gave birth to me and then something happened to my father and then later my mother married another man and had 3 more children.

Jesus' mother was Mary and Jesus' father was God (by the Holy Spirit). then Mary and Joseph were married and had children. Jesus and his brothers and sisters all had Mary as their mother, but Jesus' father was God and the other children's father was Joseph, making them Half brothers and sisters.
