Answer:

On the discussion page you explained that you want to give your daughter lifetime rights to live in your home. The legal term for lifetime rights in real property is a life estate. The most common way to create 'lifetime rights' in real estate is by granting a life estate in a deed. However, that may not be the best option to use if your daughter does not have legal capacity.


Granting a life estate in real property gives the life tenant the right to the use and possession of the property for the duration of their natural life. The property cannot be mortgaged, refinanced or sold without the written consent of the life tenant. You need to discuss this issue with an attorney who can review your situation, the reason you have made such a decision and explain your options. The attorney should be an expert in estate planning.

Is there a difference between lifetime rights and a will that states someone may live in a house or basement as long as needed and the other owners can do nothing?

Yes, there is a difference. Lifetime rights give a person certain rights to use a property for their lifetime, while a will specifying someone can live in a house as long as needed may be subject to the discretion of the other owners. The latter arrangement may be more flexible and not as legally binding as lifetime rights.
