A usufruct is a legal right given by an owner to someone else to use the owner’s property for a limited time – usually a fixed term or a person’s lifetime. While a usufruct allows extensive rights over the asset, it does not transfer the ownership of the asset itself to the usufructuary.

A usufruct can be utilised to serve a range of purposes.  A usufruct may be a great estate planning tool, but it is certainly not to be taken lightly.
