Fee simple absolute is the way we describe the complete and total ownership of real property. The owner in fee simple absolute has the right to full possession and control of the land (unless the land is subject to a life estate). The property will pass to the owner's heirs upon death or the owner can convey the property during their lifetime. Generally the conveyance of real estate by a deed conveys fee simple absolute in those jurisdictions that allow the private ownership of land. Generally, when we speak of "fee simple" we are referring to fee simple absolute. The owner of the fee simple can grant a life estate to another. A person acquires a fee simple ownership of land by deed from the present fee simple owner of the land.

Ownership of real property is the broadest interest in land allowed by law in countries that allow private ownership of the land. It is referred to as "fee simple". Ownership in fee simple means you are the absolute owner. You can sell or give the land to someone else during your life or leave it to your heirs by your last will when you die. If you have no will the land will pass to your heirs according to the laws of intestate succession in your jurisdiction. A life estate must be granted by the owner of the fee simple by deed or by will. A life estate is the right to use and possess a property during life. The owner of a life estate is called the life tenant. Someone else owns the land in fee simple. A life estate can only be revoked by the life tenant in writing but it cannot be transferred to their heirs. When the life tenant dies the life estate expires and the fee owners own the land free and clear of the life estate.
This is the doctrine in Property Law that a landholder whether he be the owner of an interest in a freehold or non freehold estate can only transfer the interest that he has. For example, if a landowner owns an interest in fee simple absolute, he can devise, transfer (or his heirs will inherit) his entire estate. On the other hand, if he were to transfer a lesser quantum than his interest in fee simple, for example a life estate, then he would maintain the reversionary interest at the natural termination of that estate.
