Legal Terms - estate pur (or per) autre vie
[other vie, other life, in Norman French] a lifelong stake in another person's property. A is the tenant pur autre vie and will possess the property for as long as B (the cestui que vie) is alive if A is granted it. The individuals entitled under A's will or intestacy will inherit the interest for the length of B's life if A passes away before B; if B passes away before A, A's interest in it ends. Since 1925, the interest has only been a *equitable interest. It is a type of *life interest and an estate of freehold, meaning it could be inherited.
