Who are the remainder man in a life estate when none are specified in the deed?

You have asked an interesting question. If a person (A) was granted a life estate by deed and there was no remainder interests mentioned in that deed then the fee remains with the owner (B) who granted the life estate. When B dies the property will become part of their estate and will remain subject to the life estate.
