usufruit

« Back to Glossary Index

Usufruct. This refers to an asset with split ownership (démembrement). The usufruit is the right to use and receive income from the asset. The other part of the split ownership is the nue-propriété. As an example, if the asset is a property, then the owner of the usufruct (the usufruitier) can live in it and they can receive rent from letting it out.
