Options for Ugly Houses under Life Estate?

[Account Closed]

I was doing some driving for dollars research and found a property in definite need of work. I brought the address home to find out the tax record mentions that it is a Life Estate. Quick google search says "A life estate deed is a deed form used to transfer property to one party automatically upon another party's death. The life tenant's interest is called a life estate. The interest that passes to the remainder beneficiary is called a remainder" My concern is if the house is under an estate for the owner they may not be able to sell? Anyone do a deal with someone thing like this in place?
