"Life expectancy" is short hand for life expectancy at birth, but other life expectancies such as life expectancy at age 65 are also measured. For instance, https://data.oecd.org/healthstat/life-expectancy-at-65.htm

The conditional distribution of time-to-death is how I interpret it after conversation with my actuary fellow friend. "Conditional on being in this well-defined population, how long until I die in expectation?"
