A) the holder has maximum control over the property.
B) the holder has the maximum estate available in land.
C) the holder can transfer rights to others.
D) the estate terminates upon death.
Answer (2)
The incorrect statement about a fee simple absolute estate is that it terminates upon the holder's death; in reality, it typically passes to heirs. A fee simple absolute allows maximum control and ownership of a property, and the holder can transfer rights freely. Thus, option D is the choice that is not true regarding this type of estate.
