Legal Question in Elder Law in Florida

Property laws

Can a life estate be for a length of time instead of until my death? I am wanting my son to live in my rental while i'm out of the country for 5 years. If I have this option I can reduce my real eastate taxes

Re: Property laws

A life estate through its common meaning means a lifetime.However, a document can be prepared to cover the exact number of years that you want to give away the beneficial enjoyment of the property through lease or conveyance.This type of real estate transaction is better to be customized by an attorney so the actual goal is achieved. If you would like my assistance in structuring this transaction or anything else send me an e-mail with your phone number and a time to call you.

Sincerely,
