Is it necessary to transfer the deed of ownership of a property to the named life interest ? In an example situation where a person dies and they left a valid will naming their son a life interest to the property and their daughter the remainderman
 
I am no expert but i would imagine the property would still need to go into the name of the life interest, in order for any legal ownership to pass on, and taxes etc
My understanding is that while a life interest would have full title to the property during their lifetime, they could even sell the property but as they could only sell a life interest its unlikely they would find a buyer
I am assuming if ownership remained in the name of a deceased person .... no one would legally own anything
