What reasoning supported tying the right to vote property ownership?
Before 1920, most taxes were assessed on property. When all taxes are based on property, it makes sense to restrict voting to property owners. When non-property owners are voting on property TAXES, the non-owner is has no reason not to vote for higher taxes that he won't be paying. Since the advent of the income tax, even people who don't own property are paying taxes, so the voter rolls needed to be expanded. Here in 2014, the disconnect between paying taxes and voting is becoming bad again.

It depends upon the laws of your state. Usually, a "life estate" means exactly that - the grantee has the privilege of occupying or using the property for the remainder of their LIFE. Much depends on how the life estate was granted and worded. Read the wording. Are they required to maintain the property - pay the taxes on the property - etc - etc.? REGARDING THE UNPAID TAXES: If the grantee abandoned the property and ceased paying taxes on it - the grantor(s) actually owning the property had better be paying the taxes or it could be sold at a tax auction for the unpaid tax lien.
