The usufructo is a right to enjoy the property of others with the obligation to preserve its form. Actually, it is a fairly flexible right because it allows you to use the property as you want, and even lease it with the right to receive all the rent. The usufructo can be for life or temporary. If for life, the most common when we speak of inheritance, is when this right is applied throughout the lifetime of the individual. The right is extinguished with the death of the individual. This happens when a husband grants the wife the usufructo of a home or vice versa. The spouse can use the house while he/she lives. On the other hand, the temporary right is the one that is granted for a specific period of time. The usufructo may also fall on real estate or personal property, rights or on an entire estate. 1.- Right of money: This is the case of money in financial institutions. If the usufructo falls on money, problems can arise because the beneficiary can dispose of it without the consent of the owners. 2.- Right of the dwelling: The beneficiary may use or lease the dwelling without the consent of the owners, and having the right to receive the corresponding rent. This prevents any of the heirs, especially children, from wanting to take over the family home. 3.- Usufructo of shares or participations in a company: In this case the beneficiary will be entitled to the dividends agreed by the company during the usufructo.
