question

A man owned real estate in fee simple. He transferred a life estate in it over to a friend for the friend's lifetime. When the fee simple owner died, the life estate owner conveyed his interest to his children. The deceased fee simple owner's son sued the children on the basis that the life estate was now broken and he owned the property absolutely.
