1. If a life estate or estate for years is created by or under any will to continue after distribution of the estate, the court does not lose jurisdiction of the estate, life estate or estate for years by final distribution of the estate, but retains jurisdiction of it until the distribution of the residue of the life estate or estate for years to those entitled to it is complete.
