fee simple n. absolute title to land,
Explanation:
free of any other claims against the title, which one can sell.

When an owner conveys a vested estate smaller than the estate he owns, he retains a future interest called a reversion. For instance, if O holds fee simple absolute, but conveys merely a life estate to A, O retains a reversion.

Hope this helps
