An Estate for Life is a property interest that terminates upon the death of a specified individual. This estate type grants usage rights to the beneficiary during their lifetime, while ensuring the property will revert to another designated party upon the beneficiary's death.
Reversion refers to the right of a lessor to possess leased property upon the termination of a lease. It is a critical concept in real estate, as it dictates the future interest in rental properties and land transactions.
A sale-leaseback allows the owner of a property to sell it and simultaneously lease it back from the buyer, converting from owner to tenant while freeing up capital for other uses.
