Final answer:
A life tenant's conveyance cannot extend rights beyond the life tenancy. Upon the death of the life tenant, the property reverts to the grantor or a designated third party. The life tenant's interest and agreements terminate with the life estate.
Step-by-step explanation:
The conveyance by a life tenant does not extend the rights of others beyond the duration of the life estate. A life estate is restricted to the lifetime of the life tenant or another designated individual. After the life tenant's death, the property reverts back to the grantor or a third party, known as the remainderman. Therefore, any agreement or lease made by the life tenant will terminate upon the end of the life estate because the life tenant's interest in the property ends at that point. By definition, the life tenant cannot extend rights beyond their own life tenure; it cannot be extended to the term of a lease, a tenancy in common, or beyond the lifetime of the original fee simple owner if that tenure already ended.
