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.
Life estates can be especially beneficial when the land is the family home. For example, a husband might write in his will that he leaves his wife a life estate in their home and the remaining ownership rights to his son. When the husband dies, his wife becomes a âlife tenantâ and continues to live in their home.
