Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The deed grants Polly a life estate, which means that she has the right to use and enjoy the property for the duration of her life. However, she does not have the right to sell or give the property to anyone else, and when she dies, the property will pass on to Quay as specified in the deed. This is different from a fee simple absolute, which would give Polly complete ownership of the property with no restrictions, and a leasehold estate, which would give Polly the right to use the property for a set period of time as a tenant. An easement is a right to use someone else's property for a specific purpose, which is not what is granted in this scenario.
