revoke living rights due to abandment

[earl_robbins]

I have a friend that owns a home in her name. Her uncle has life time rights. He built a $60000.00 structure on the property and has now vacated the property and states that he is not coming back and he is now longer going to pay the loan on the structure. The structure he had built has a balance of $50000.00 on a loan. How can she revoke his living rights and who becomes responsible for the structure and the loan. And if he is responsible for the structure and loan can she have the loan company reposess it and come remove it from her property??

She can't revoke his rights - you can't just take something from someone. If he wants to relinquish them, he could sign his life interest back to her.

He's responsible for the debt, but if he assignes his rights back to her, she MIGHT take the life interest subject to the lender's claim. That will dissipate when he dies and his life estate reverts naturally. Alternatively the bank could repossess the structure, and everybody washes their hands of the whole thing. What kind of structure is it? Is it easily removable?
