Answer to Question 1

The reason someone might want to include real property they own in a life estate would be because they do not want to transfer the property to their beneficiaries yet they want the beneficiaries to be able to use the property during the beneficiaries lifetime.

Answer to Question 2

Joint tenancy could be a contentious form of ownership when there are divorces because if only one spouse wants to sell the property the property would have to be partitioned and sold by the court system.
