Louisiana Grant of Usufruct
About this form
The Grant of Usufruct is a legal document that establishes a conventional usufruct, granting one party (the usufructuary) the right to use and enjoy property belonging to another (the naked owner) for a specified period. This form includes an option allowing the usufructuary to dispose of non-consumables without the owner's consent. It differs from other property-use documents, such as a right of habitation, as it encompasses the full enjoyment of the property while maintaining its substance.

Unless confirmed for life in a will, the legal usufruct of Art 890 terminates upon the remarriage of the surviving spouse.In the case of the usufruct terminating at death, the estate may owe a debt to the naked owner for the value of the cash but if the estate has no assets, the naked owner loses.
There are several ways in which usufruct is terminated. Usufruct is terminated by the death of the usufructuary. In the case of co-usufructuaries, upon the death of one of them, the jus accrescendi comes into operation; his share accrues to the remaining usufructuaries.
The person who holds the usufruct, also known as the usufructuary, has the right to make use of the property and enjoy its profits and benefits provided the property is not damaged or altered in any way.While the usufructuary can rent the property out, they are not allowed to sell or leave the home to another party.
What Is a Usufruct? A usufruct is a legal right accorded to a person or party that confers the temporary right to use and derive income or benefit from someone else's property.
Usufruct is a real right in a property owned by another, normally for a limited time or until death. Simply stated, it is the right to use the property, to enjoy the fruits and income of the property, to rent the property out and to collect the rents, all to the exclusion of the underlying real or naked owner.
A usufruct is a legal right accorded to a person or party that confers the temporary right to use and derive income or benefit from someone else's property.Usufruct is usually conferred for a limited time period.
Louisiana Civil Code Article 616 governs the sale of the property. The naked owners and usufructuary can agree to sell, or the usufructuary may have the right to make a sale. When a sale occurs, the usufruct terminates but attaches to the money received from the sale, unless the parties agree otherwise.
The usufruct grants the right of occupation or habitation to a person to make use of a property that belongs to someone else for a limited period of time. A typical example of a usufruct is when a person bequeaths his property to his children but grants the right of occupation to his surviving spouse.
