Legal Question in Tax Law in New York

Life Estate Remainder Interest

Your asset is what is described as a remainder interest in the property. The property becomes yours on your mother's death. The arrangement can be revoked by the execution of a Deed which would require your signature and your mother's signature.

This is the answer I received from a previous post. My follow up is what is the formula for calculating remaining interest?
