Can a clause exempting assets from seizure be permanent?

No. The law requires that the exemption clause be temporary. The will must therefore specify a limited period during which the property will be exempt from seizure.

In practice, some clauses specify a duration of several years, but the duration chosen must remain reasonable and be justified by the intended purpose.
