Season 2 Ep. 27 Right to reside clause

28 August 2025The Vicca Law PodcastSeason 2 Ep. 27 Right to reside clauseIn this week’s episode, the focus is on the right to reside clause—an increasingly valuable tool in modern estate planning. A right to reside clause allows you to grant someone the legal right to live in a property after your death without transferring ownership. This is particularly useful in blended family scenarios or where a property is owned as tenants in common. The episode explores how this provision can help balance competing interests: allowing one individual, such as a surviving spouse or adult child, to remain in the home, while ultimately preserving the asset for another beneficiary. Listeners will gain insights into the legal mechanics of a right to reside clause, what conditions can be attached (such as maintenance responsibilities or time limits), and why it should be carefully drafted to reflect the intentions of the will-maker. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on how this strategy can safeguard both relationships and legacies.
