Hi Guest,

A life estate clause can be added to a quitclaim deed or a warranty deed. The life estate deed will allow the grantor to stay in the property until death. However, the grantees would be considered as the owner of the property. If you are unable to understand the type of the deed, then you should contact a real estate attorney in order to understand it.
