What are the 2 types of free hold estates?

Actually 3:

three freehold estates (fee simple, life estate, fee tail)

but Fee Tail is not recognized in all states.

The fee tail is a largely-obsolete freehold estate whose duration is measured by the lives of the lineal descendants of a designated person. For example, if O granted Greenacre 鈥渢o A and the heirs of his body,鈥?this created an estate that would endure as long as A鈥檚 bloodline continued.



Probably Fee Simple and Life estate

fee simple and fee tail
