The Local Reaction: What do you think of Usufruct?
“Usufruct” is a concept in Louisiana law that comes into play when a spouse dies and allows the use of his or her home to the surviving spouse so heirs cannot sell it.
One reconstruction plan uses usufruct as a basis for people to voluntarily grant control of their property to the government for the purposes of rebuilding.
