If lifetime dowry is the same as 'Life Estate', yes, that's how they go. There may be limits to what you can do to or with the house and land, but you can live the rest of your life there. You need an attorney's help if you are having problems with your arrangement.

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.
