In my state, they passed a law that eliminated the protection of a life estate and they now freeze the value of the life tenant’s interest as of the date of death, and then they claim a lien on that percentage.
So if a 84-year old dies, and say he would be assigned 37% of the value based on his life interest, that is the extent to which the lien would be effective.
It totally changed common law which previously did not allow a lien on a life interest, because the life interest disappears on the death of the life tenant.
Strange times.
