§ 10-10.3 Power to lease in tenant for life; transfer and extinguishment

The power of a tenant for life to make leases is not assignable as a
separate interest, but is annexed to his estate and passes by a
disposition of such estate unless expressly excepted. If so excepted,
it is extinguished. Such a power may be released by the tenant to a
person entitled to a future estate in the property, and shall thereupon
be extinguished.
