My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: Washington
My dad‘s will states that his spouse “has the right for life to live in any residence which they currently reside in is long as she maintains the property and pays the taxes and insurance” . This is a simple will that never uses the term life estate and only uses that one sentence to describe his intention regarding her right to continue to live in the residence .
This is a residence that has been in his family for several generations and following his death his spouse did not pay the property tax and it is accruing interest and penalties .
My question is : Is this a life estate or something else ?
If it is a life estate did his spouse forgo her interest in it by moving out and saying that I should pay the property taxes ?

Does the Phrase “right for Life to Live in a Residence.” Constitute a Life Estate
