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 deed is not the only way to transfer property at death. Property that is titled as tenancy by the entirely or titled as joint tenants with rights of survivorship will also transfer property to a surviving owner at death. With these forms of co-ownership, the owners hold title at the same time. A life estate deed is also a form of co-ownership. Both the life tenant and the remainder beneficiary have real interests in the property. But unlike other forms of co-ownership, they do not have property rights at the same time as each other.
