It would depend on the type of life estate. In most cases, they would be able to sign a lease for the length of their life.
However, in most states the remaindermen would also need to sign. It is common practice for oil companies to ask the remaindermen to ratify a lease signed by a life tenant. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in that area of law.

Can director of the real estate agency sign the lease agreement with no witness?
Generally in the United States, if the signing of a document requires a witness, it should state that it needs to be notarized. To have a document notorized is to have a Notary Public confirm by his/her seal that he/she witnessed the signing of the document and confirmed the signer's identification. (So never sign a document before taking it to be notarized, because the Notary Public has to witness the signing.) (Sorry, I don't know how or if it is done differently outside the US.)

Your brother's company failed to have him sign the life insurance beneficiary form therefore the life insurance money went to your parents is there recourse against the negligence of the company?
No, The insurer provides a means by which we can assign beneficiaries, If those beneficiaries turned out to be your parents then so be it. Without evidence to the contrary, Namely an assignment of proceeds AKA naming you as a beneficiary, the law has no option but to presume that was the intent of the insured. Their is no negligence here on the part of the Company and therefore no liability. The insurance company is only following the law as well as the documented intent of the insured.If you think there was an oversight on the part of your sibling in the assignment of beneficiaries, then you would need to bring your action against the beneficiary and/or the estate of the deceased. Basically you'd have to sue your parents and your brothers estate. The Insurance company would not be a party to your recourse action.

The seller can sign the counter offer as soon as he/she is prepared to accept it. However, this has to be done within the irrevocable period stipulated in the sign back.
