What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
Briefly, my father-in-law, gave life estate to his girlfriend in his will. The three children are the beneficiaries or remaindermen after her death.
Does the law clearly state the remanindermen's financial obligations to the property during the period the life tenant is alive?
For instance, does putting in a new septic liner get paid by tenant or us?
Furnace repair?
Leaky pipes?
Electrical problems?
The will stipulates nothing other than she has life estate in the property. She is using us as landlord's and maintenance men.
Is there something we can mail to her to make our responsibilities in this agreement clear?
