The statement is: False.

Explanation:

A life estate comprehends the property that someone owns during a lifetime. The benefit of a life estate is that property will transfer without the need of the beneficiary appearing in the will after the holder is deceased. They cannot put the property on sale until the holder's decease, though. As well, holders cannot do anything at will without consulting their simple-fee owners.
