The provision
Usufruct may be constituted on the whole or a part of the fruits of the thing, in favor of one more persons, simultaneously or successively, and in every case from or to a certain day, purely or conditionally. It may also be constituted on a right, provided it is not strictly personal or intransmissible. (469)
Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
A usufruct—the right to use and enjoy another's property and its fruits—may cover all or only part of a thing's fruits, and may be given to one or several people at once or in sequence, for a fixed period and either absolutely or subject to a condition. It may even be set up over a right, so long as that right is not strictly personal or non-transferable.
