Yes. If the mortgage which is being foreclosed covers the property which includes the life

estate interest, it will be included in the foreclosure.

This is a great question. Depending on what the mortgage states, ie selling any interest to anyone after the mortgage has been established would be my first thought. If the mortgage was placed on the property with the life estate already on the deed, then I think this would become a first case law that should be submitted to the supreme court.
