For the first question, Roderick possesses the forested property and he has the right to lease the land for a period not to exceed his life is a life estate. For the first question, Option C is correct.
Life Estate is correct because life estate makes the owner of the land have full authority over the land. This authority is valid once the owner is still alive. When the owner is no longer alive, that authority no longer holds as the ownership of the land is automatically transferred to the beneficiary who now has the authority over the land. As described in the question above, Roderick also has the right to lease the land for a period not to exceed his life.
Easement, on the other hand, can be indefinite, or for a fixed time as it grants the holder the right to use or restrict the use of another person's land.
Leasehold estate gives authority to someone that rents the land. This authority lasts for a period of time under an agreement with the owner of such land.
Fee simple absolute also gives the owner full authority over the land and this authority doesn't change like life estate.
For the second question, Kelsey and Ed buy a duplex in Wells, Maine. On the death of either owner, that owner's interest in the duplex passes to his or her heirs. This is " tenancy in common". Option C is the right answer.
Tenancy in common is the right answer as it allows the duplex to be passed to either Kelsey or Ed heirs after their death based on their wishes.
This is a feature of tenancy in common as the duplex is passed on in accordance with the wishes of the deceased’s will and not to the other joint owners.
While in a joint tenancy, when either Kelsey or Ed, dies the duplex will totally be transferred to the surviving tenant.
