Life estate is an interest in real property. It is measured by the life of the person that it has been granted to. As long as they are alive, they have that right in the property. Once they die, it ceases to exist and goes to the remainderman, the person listed to get it after their death.
You have to look at the arrangements that were made when the life estate was created. Usually, the life estate reverts to the original owner, or to whomever the original owner named as heir. There is no fixed answer. But what should be clear is that the life estate, whatever it included, ends at the death of the person who holds it.

A person who is granted a life estate has the right to the use and possession of the property for the duration of their natural life. They are responsible for upkeep and maintenance. Upon their death the life tenancy is extinguished.
In law that type of right is called a life estate. With a life estate arrangement someone else is the actual owner of the property and the life estate holder has the right to use and occupy the property for the duration of their natural life. The property is encumbered by the life estate until the holder dies or releases it by a signed release. There are varying state laws that govern life estates and the obligations of each of the parties.
A life estate is extinguished by the death of the life tenant or by the life tenant executing a deed of release of the life estate.
You mean a contract to sell a property in which the parent has a life estate? No. If the children want to sell their future interest in the property, it is separate from the rights of the parent with a life estate. Similarly, the children do not need to be asked if the the parent wants to sell (or mortgage) his or her life estate to someone else. On the other hand, if the buyers want clear title, with no life estate, then you have a different problem: terminating the life estate, by merging it with the future estate, and what's in it for you?
