My understanding as well. But since this "life estate" is still held
in the trust (that's a new one for me), I'd look at the trust wording
to be sure there is no conflict.

It has always been my understanding (sorry, no citation) that the owner of a
Life Estate was responsible for the expenses associated with that Life
Estate (i.e. he receives the benefits "net").

Default ABC Trust

If a decedent spouse owns a home as separate property, and provides in
the trust for the surviving spouse to live in the house, reserving it
for other beneficiaries when the survivor dies: Is the trust
responsible for the taxes, upkeep, improvements, or is the survivor?

Thanks
