I really need assistance I am in a legal situation regarding the ownership of property that I bought
cash for my retirement. On purchasing the property, My two sons and I agreed I bought the property
in both their names. In the interim my one son passed away suddenly. I am now in a situation at
to does this property go into the estate of my late son and does my grandson have the right to it now.
Bearing in mind this property I did buy in my sons names but with a agreement that it remains my
property for retiment until the day I pass on then they can decide between the two of them what they
want to do with it. Now this has happened. A advocate has replied but I dont undersand what he is
telling me in on sentence he states " Helene (being me received a USUFRUCT in respect of property It must still be establish whether or not the death of a party to such a greement would terminate the agreement completey and the property remains the property of the purchaser Helene
The property should continue in behalf of late son's partly owns what you bought in their names... Your late sons children will benefit from it... So be it...
According to Wikipedia, the meaning and the rights of the word " USUFRCT" IS AS FOLLOWS:-
Usufruct is a right of enjoyment, enabling a holder to derive profit or benefit from property that either is titled to another person or which is held in common ownership, as long as the property is not damaged or destroyed. In many usufructory property systems, such as the traditional ejidosystem in Mexico, individuals or groups may only acquire the usufruct of the property, not legal title.[citation needed]
I fully agree with the definition fiven in wikipedia and IInd the opinion of IInd person because sons of ur late son. MAY GOD KEEP HIS SOUL IN PEACE, are having equal share in the share of ur demised son, unless he has left a will to the contrary. It is not an advice but logical opinion. Legal matters need Advocates'opinion & verdict of Supreme Courts.
