land is deeded to me by my deceased Mother. Can I sell the land and not get into trouble because in her will she stated I only have life time rights. The land is now in my name. Thanks

Re: Deeds and Wills
If you only have a life estate, you cannot sell the property in fee simple. You can lease the property.
