Body surface area. In physiology and medicine, the body surface area is the measured or calculated surface of a human body. For many clinical purposes BSA is a better indicator of metabolic mass than body weight because it is less affected by abnormal adipose mass.
A life estate deed is a deed in which you transfer the future ownership of your home but retain the current ownership, creating both a present interest and a future interest in the property. You, as the present interest holder, have the exclusive right to enjoy and live in the residence until you pass.
A life estate is an interest in a property for the life of the person that receives it. The life estate does not transfer to another person. If your mother sells her life estate, the grandson would not get to keep the property for his life but for the rest of your motherâs life. As people age, the value of a life estate becomes less and less.
