Answer:
Jackie owns the property until Maria dies
Explanation:
In this specific scenario, Jackie owns the property until Maria dies. That is because, in common law and statutory law, a life estate also known as life tenancy is defined as the ownership of land for the duration of a person's life. Therefore since Mike granted life estate to Maria and not Jackie, the land is legally Maria's to do as she wishes up until the moment of her death. Once this comes to pass the land ownership is returned to Mike.
