The provision
The provisions of No. 2 of the preceding article shall not apply to the donor who has reserved the usufruct of the property donated, or to the parents who are usufructuaries of their children's property, except when the parents contract a second marriage. (492a)
Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
A requirement set out in item No. 2 of the preceding article does not apply to a donor who kept the usufruct of the property he donated, nor to parents who enjoy the usufruct of their children's property. That exemption for the parents ends, however, once they enter into a second marriage.
An editorially maintained plain-language explanation of this provision — not legal advice.
Superseded: parental authority over a child's property is now governed by the Family Code (Arts. 225-227); this old Civil Code usufruct rule no longer applies.
