(a) Lifetime of the owner of the property, the owner’s spouse, the owner’s dependent adult child if that child is mentally or physically disabled or a joint tenant if the joint tenant was a joint tenant at the time of the patient’s discharge; or
(b) Minority of any child of the owner,
if the owner or joint tenant resides on the property, or the owner’s spouse, dependent or minor child resides on the property and has acquired title thereto.
