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.
Advantages. 1  Life Estates are simple and inexpensive to establish; merely requiring that a new Deed be recorded. 2  Life Estates avoid probate; the property automatically transfers to your heirs upon the death of the last surviving Life Tenant. 3  Transferring title following your death is a simple, quick process.
