Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct term for the right to use property during one's lifetime is a "life estate," which is not listed among the options provided. An easement is a right to cross or otherwise use someone else's land for a specified purpose. A warranty deed is a document that guarantees a clear title to the buyer of real estate. A covenant is a type of agreement included in deeds or other legal instruments, with a promise to do or not do something. A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor currently has in the property, without warranties. None of these options accurately describe a right to use property for the duration of one's life.
