Now that I think about it, you probably could construct some kind of "ceremonial ownership" where you give someone the title to something but the contract of sale says you keep basically all the rights a landlord would have (they agree to charge no rent and exert no control)
-
And if you did that you can imagine missing some loophole and leaving in some residual right that the Roses could draw on in an emergency Like they can't charge rent or tell the "tenants" what to do but as landlords they have a basic right to physically reside on the property
