Explanation
A life estate pur autre vie ('for another's life') is a life estate that is measured by the life of a third person, not the life tenant. For example, 'to A for the life of B' — A holds the property as long as B lives, not as long as A lives. If A dies before B, the life estate passes to A's estate until B dies, at which point it goes to the remainderman.
