CONT

A reversion may be created by the owner of any estate, and the reversionary interest will be the same estate that the transferor held.... (W)here a life tenant grants an estate for years, he will have a reversion for life, and this is so even though the lease be for a long term, such as 999 years, for in the eyes of the law a lease is a lesser estate than a freehold. (Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 376)
