A person who has a life estate in the property has the right to the use and possession of the property for the duration of their natural life. You have not explained how the situation came about.
No. A life estate is extinguished when he life tenant dies.
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.
Power of attorney has no effect on lifetime rights, except that now the person named in the power can exercise the rights in the name of the person who gave the power.
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.
No. That person does not own legal title to the property. They simply have the right to the use and possession as long as they live.
If it was given to the child, then no.
No. Your only interest in the property is as a tenant. Your rights to occupy the property would die with you.
All Roman citizens had equal rights. Slaves, being someone else's property, had no rights.
Sure. The unrestricted life tenant can do anything on the property he or she wants to, except perhaps waste or encumber it, for as long as he or she lives. This could include, for example leasing it to someone else entirely. It's as if the life tenant "owns" the property, but only for life.
