Quote Quoting Disagreeable

There is one effective countermeasure that I believe can be employed. It appears the remainder-man can sell the property and life tenant is only entitled to the value of their life estate. Subtract the waste and his life tenancy decreases in value significantly. I have provided a link to the source of my hypothesis.

The remainderman can generally sell his/her remainder interest. He/she can't just abrogate the life tenancy. The life tenant would have to be willing to surrender the life estate.

Short of some very, very, very unusual provisions in the deed, no.
