My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: VA

I own a commercial property on which someone else has a life estate on. As an owner, what rights do I have in the property. Do I have any legal right at decision making? Who pays the taxes on the property? Also, if the property is rented out? Who gets paid? The owner or the one who has the life estate?

Brief info> I'm the owner and have used the property as my business for 8 years then moved out 6 yrs ago to a larger location and rented out my place.

Any info would be helpful, Thanks!
