Estates in Land & Ownership Definitions - Zillow Real Estate Advice

Ownership Interest is broken down in to three categories for Real Estate

Fee Simple Absolute - The highest and fullest type of ownership in real property.

Fee - It is a potentially infinite duration.
Simple - It has no limits on who may inherit it.
Absolute - It will not terminate with the happening of an event.

Defeasible (Qualified) Fee - An interest that is less than fee simple because it has a condition placed on the deed which terminates or overules the Fee.

Life Estate - The interest is tied to either the life of the person who has the interest or someone else's life.

Two things may happen when there is a death in the interest of a Life Estate:

Reversionary Interest - The Ownership reverts back to the grantor when the life interest is terminated by death.

Remainder Interest - Ownership goes to a designated 3rd person upon death or termination of the life estate.
