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.


Can you just convey your life estate to another person?

No, you cannot convey a life estate to another person in the same way you would with a fee simple estate.

However, the life tenant can transfer their interest, allowing someone else to occupy the property for the remainder of their life, but this does not change the nature of the life estate itself.
