Article 299
De l'Usufruit
Titre XIII:
De l'Usufruit, de l'Usage et de l'Habitation
(On Usufruct, Use, and Habitation)
Chapitre I:
De l'Usufruit
(On Usufruct)
La loi ou la volonté de l'homme établit l'usufruit.
Life lesson:
Usufruct arises from two sources only: the command of law or the choice of a person. There is no third path.
Notes:
Two sources of usufruct: legal (by operation of law) or conventional (by human will — contract, testament). Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 579.
