He would thus have been Lord for about one hundred and twenty years, until his departure from Middle-earth (or perhaps his death - sources leave room for doubt) in IV 120. It is not established whether the title continued in use after this date. Gimli himself had no recorded heirs, but in principle another of his followers might have continued the Lordship in his place. See also...
