Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The final judgment of dissolution awarded the appellant alimony in the amount of $2,500 per month to be reduced to $1,250 per month after sixty months. We find this reduction to be error and reverse. See Foss v. Foss, 392 So.2d 606 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981); Colucci v. Colucci, 392 So.2d 577 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981). We remand with directions that alimony payments in the amount of $2,500 per month continue until the remarriage of the wife or the death of either of the parties. See DeVito v. DeVito, 393 So.2d 1189 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981). The final judgment of dissolution is otherwise affirmed upon the authority of Schwartz v. Schwartz, 396 So.2d 806 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981), and Rosen v. Rosen, 386 So.2d 1268 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980), rev. denied, 392 So.2d 1379 (Fla. 1981) (where the husband's major assets are indisputably the result of inheritance or gift and unrelated to the labors of either party during coverture, the wife, in the absence of some other justification, is not entitled to a lump sum award simply by virtue of the husband's ability to pay).
Affirmed in part; reversed in part and remanded with directions.
