Also termed a life estate per autre vie, this class of life estate uses as its measuring life the duration of another person's life other than the life tenant. For example, suppose an elderly man, Steven, owned a home. His brother William lived with him. Steven had several other siblings. In his will Steven granted his niece Ellen a life estate for as long as her father, William, was living. Steven knew that William needed to be in the care of his daughter. When William died, Ellen's life estate expired and the remainder of the property was shared by Steven's siblings.

No. The grantee of a life estate cannot leave the life estate in a will because a life tenant doesn't own the property, only the right to use it during their life.

After the death of the life tenant there is nothing left to devise by a Will.Sometimes the owner of land simply grants a life estate to another party. In that case the grantor still owns the property subject to the life estate. When the life tenant dies the life estate is ended and the grantor still owns the property. In other cases the owner transfers the property in fee to new owners but reserves a life estate to herself or some other person. In that case the property is no longer owned by that grantor at the time of the grantor's death and so does not become part of the estate. In that respect, a life estate deed is an estate planning tool.
