Goblin's view on property

In real estate in the Muggle world there are similar concepts.

If I sell you a life interest in a certain piece of land, then when you die it
goes back to me, or if I am dead myself by then to my heirs; I (or my heirs)
don't have to pay your estate back.  You could sell it to a third party, but
even so when you died it would revert to me or my heirs at no cost to us, for
you would only have been able to sell YOUR LIFE INTEREST in the property.

Now, this does not work with chattels, only with land, under our laws, but
apparently under goblin law it does.
