Do I have the right to go and see how much damage has occurred in my property?

Roger Durkin
Answered by attorney Roger Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin Law, PC
No, you have no apparent right to enter the property. Her title is a LIFE ESTATE, no she lives there because she has life rights. She has a title almost the same as if it were fee simple. She stays there until she gives up the life estate or dies. The Life Estate may be taxable to her estate. Whether she had a flood or fire, it is her property until she dies. It is not yours to inspect, fix, maintain, live in or otherwise... until she dies.
