Usufruct
(redirected from usufructuary)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Usufruct
The temporary right to use and profit from a property that belongs to another, provided one does not damage the property. For example, a farmer may have usufruct of another person's land. If he grows crops on that land, they belong to the farmer and not the property owner. Only a few jurisdictions in North America recognize usufruct, but it is an important concept in some investment vehicles in Islamic finance.
