Q: Can we remove unwanted occupants from property with life estate in Nevada?
I own a property where my parents have a deed of life estate, and my name is on the paperwork as the owner. We previously evicted some people from another property we own, but they have now moved onto the property with the life estate. Despite our objection and telling them to leave, they are refusing to do so. My parents, who are on the property with the life estate, say these people can live there, but we do not want them there. Do we have any legal recourse to remove these individuals?

A: The life tenants can allow anyone to occupy the property. If you own the reversion, it has not vested in possession yet which is when both life tenants pass. There may be other ways to get them out, especially if they are criminals or owe money to others.
