What rhymes with inter vivos?
ˈɪn tər ˈvaɪ voʊs, ˈvi-in·ter vivos

Inter vivos is a legal term referring to a transfer or gift made during one's lifetime, as opposed to a testamentary transfer. The term is often used to describe a trust established during one's lifetime, i.e., an Inter vivos trust as opposed to a Testamentary trust which is established on one's death, usually as part of a will. An Inter vivos trust is often used synonymously with the more common term Living trust, but an Inter vivos trust, by definition, includes both revocable and irrevocable trust. The term inter vivos is also used to describe living organ donation, in which one patient donates an organ to another while both are alive. Generally, the organs transplanted are either non-vital organs such as corneas or redundant vital organs such as one of the two kidneys or part of a liver.
