When a deed says, "For life with remainder to..." it is describing a life estate. That means the grantor is either granting or reserving a life estate in the property for one person(s), i.e., the right to the use and possession of the property for life, and when they die another person(s) will own the property in fee free and clear of the life estate. That second interest is called the remainder interest. The remainders own the fee in the property during the life estate but cannot take possession of the property until the life tenant has died or released their interest in the property.

A life estate can also be set forth in a will. Suppose a man's first wife died, the ownership of their home automatically passed to him and they have two sons. He married a widow with two daughters. He made arrangements in his will that his second wife would have the right to live in the home for the duration of her natural life and upon her death the property would pass to his sons free and clear of the life estate. The sons would be the owners of the remainder interest in fee.

House was purchased together before married. Says on the deed for their joint lives with the remainder in fee simple to the survivor his or her heirs or assigns. What happens if hubby dies first?

The language used sounds like a survivorship deed. That means if either dies the survivor would automatically own the property be it the wife or the husband. However, you should confirm that the deed conforms with the laws in your jurisdiction to create a valid joint tenancy with the right of survivorship.
