Subsequent (post Life Lease execution) events did occur. Those events created a new
legal relationship between Jim and John that overlaid their prior Life Lease relationship. John
came to co-habit and live with Jim, in Jim’s residence, for an indefinite time, with both parties
knowledge and intent that the Morecroft Residence become John’s place of residence, even if he
held no title to the home. The court cannot find whether any payment of rent, by cash payment
or “in kind” contributions by John on Jim’s behalf, was discussed when the two men started their
consensual co-occupation of the home. Their domestic partnership, and sharing of income,
described in the factual findings, did provide Jim consideration for John’s occupation of the
residence.
