The main thing is to avoid the expression "permanent loan"! It will
always cause trouble, because the two words contradict each other;
lending implies a temporary arrangement, which cannot be permanent.
Either give the thing outright to the proposed borrower, or else lend it
for a fixed period of years, after which you can review the arrangement
and renew the loan for a further fixed period if both parties agree.
If you are not willing to give it as a gift, then you will have to
include conditions to ensure that it is properly looked after, and what
settlement will apply if it is stolen, lost or damaged. These conditions
should be reviewed regularly, which the renewal of the loan should
ensure.
