Abstract

Changes in the way people live have made the lifetime maintenance contract one of the important arrangements in everyday life. This contract constitutes a civil-law institution that developed from an inheritance-based relationship into an obligatory legal relationship. It emerged from the interplay of traditional family and economic relations—rooted in feudal societies characterized by private property –proprietas whereby an individual (often an elderly person lacking sufficient support or care) would transfer their assets to another person in exchange for being provided with care and support for the remainder of their life. This paper will examine the evolution of the contract from its traditional origins to its formal legal structure. It will also examine the contract's characteristics, the identification of the parties (the provider and the recipient of care), the parties' rights and obligations, the legal effects of the lifetime maintenance contract, the legally prescribed form before the competent authority or a notary public, the cadastral description associated with the contract, contract termination, and other related aspects.
