USUFRUCTUARY – the person who has the right of enjoying the use and the fruits of the property belonging to another.
OWNER OF THE NAKED TITLE – the person who is vested the ownership, dominion, or title of the property under the usufruct
agreement. He is NOT the absolute owner of the property with respect to the right of the usufructuary.
