Frank has two interests in property. On property X, Frank has a life estate measured by the life of his Uncle Sal. On property Y, Frank has a fee simple estate. Frank wishes to transfer, upon his death, his interest in the two properties to his wife, Samantha. Prior to Frank's executing his will, Uncle Sal dies.

Answer to Question 1

Frank had a life estate interest in property X. Frank could use and enjoy the property as long as the measuring-life individual still lived. Once the person whose life is the measuring life dies, Frank's interest in the property ceases. Frank has no interest remaining in property X to transfer to Samantha.
An estate in fee simple lasts forever and is alienable by will. Frank may freely will his interest in property Y to Samantha.
