Olivia, the owner of Blackmore, sold it to Andrea, but reserved to herself a life estate, and remained in possession of it. Later, Olivia sold her life estate to Beatrice, and surrendered possession of it to her. Andrea then demanded immediate possession as the fee owner. In this situation:

  1. Andrea is entitled to possession
  2. Beatrice can sue for the return of her purchase price
  3. Olivia is liable for damages to Andrea
  4. Beatrice can retain possession as long as Olivia is alive
Explanation

Answer: D - Beatrice can retain possession as long as Olivia is alive

Since Olivia retained a life estate when she sold the property to Andrea, she can do whatever she wishes with it. The sale of her life estate to Beatrice is permitted and Andrea has no rights at this time to demand immediate possession.
