perpetuity
Forever, legally speaking
Perpetuity is the state of lasting forever, or an indefinitely long time.
Legal and financial contexts use the term precisely: an annuity in perpetuity pays out endlessly, and property can be held in perpetuity.
More loosely, perpetuity suggests any duration so long it might as well be eternal: The land was preserved in perpetuity.
