In a divorce, a life estate typically remains intact, meaning the individual granted the life estate retains their rights to use and occupy the property during their lifetime, even if the marriage dissolves. Upon the death of the life tenant, the property automatically transfers to the remainderman, who is the person or entity designated to receive the property after the life estate ends. If the life estate was part of the marital assets, its division may be addressed during the divorce proceedings. However, specific outcomes can vary based on jurisdiction and the terms of any agreements made.
