Abstract

Exploiting the benefit of the property and investing in it, the life estate right was organized, which is a real estate right that is created by a contract and requires registration for its validity, otherwise it will be invalid. This right is also temporary and ends at the end of the period specified for it by the contracting parties and other reasons.The life estate right is one of the legal innovations organized by the Moroccan legislator in the Code of Real Rights, unlike our Iraqi legislator in the Civil Code, which was devoid of organizing this right, contenting itself with the real rights provided for in Article (68) of the Iraqi Civil Code.Islamic jurisprudence was also the first to organize this right in terms of concept and provisions and to address it in the subject of the gift. To shed light on the concept of this right and to explain its effects and reasons for its expiration, this study was conducted.
