I'm looking for a form, lifetime lease of residential property.?

Question

Louisiana. I want to give my ex a lifetime lease on the home I owned prior to divorce. Yes, there is such a thing, I've just not been able to find a form for it.

Answer 1

Louisiana law is tricky because of the French code law that creates the legal foundation in the state.

However, I believe what you are trying to is grant your spouse a life estate in the property. A life estate gives them an interest in the property which expires at death.

In many states, a spouse of a homeowner who lives in the property, has a life estate automatically granted, and the home may not be sold without the spouse's consent.

I would contact an attorney in your state.

Answer 2

Different laws for different cities, states, provinces, and especially countries.

Where are you?

Have not heard about lifetime leases of residential property in the U.S.A.

Answer 3

Hire an attorney practicing in real estate law.  This is not something you want to do-it-yourself!
