Explanation: - not the same as the beneficiary, contrary to UK law academics' opinions, but the actual owner.
Usufruit, contrary to French lawyers' opinion, does double gen. as a trust in equity as the root of the word comes into English law via feudal uses of land whilst the owner was away crusading etc. Spec. can be a life interest or life tenancy.
Bare owner, unfortunately, is false friend as, in Eng. law, the only link is with a bare trust vs. an express trust.

PS it is the usufruitier/'usufructor' who is the beneficiary or life tenant.
I don't see what is wrong with going for "bare owner". However, the choice is yours.

Asker: Thanks - I begin to see what this means now, though 'bare owner' is perhaps not the best translation for a question meant to be understood by the layman. I'm very grateful indeed for the explanation.
Asker: Thanks. I have read everyone's comments with great interest and thoroughly re-read the context of the piece. I have settled on beneficial/bare owner with a small added explanation. Thanks to everyone who contributed to such an interesting legal debate.

Example sentence(s):
Beneficial owner is a legal term where specific property rights ("use and title") in equity belong to a person even though legal title of the property belongs to another person.

Explanation: Naked owner is the term used in the US at least. I've seen it used by stock brokers when the father has died, the mother has usufruct of the investment/investment income, but the children are the naked owners. At the mother's death, the children inherit the investment. I agree completely with the definition "owner without usufruct or use." Well put.

Thanks, Chris. The asker probably wants the British "bare owner" since U.S. term wasn't requested. Here a web page with naked owner: "The total use includes the right to exclude the children, or naked owners, from the property while that spouse has the usufruct." See first 2 paragraphs under USUFRUCT on this web page, if you ever have a U.S. client. Thanks again. http://www.meocpa.com/usufruct.html
Reply to asker's request for more "user-friendly" term: leave out "bare" and use "owner" since the usufructor is not the owner.

Asker: Very grateful for the explanation. I can see why either "naked" or "bare" owner would be used. I just wonder if there is a more 'user-friendly' way of trying to express this without a long note at the end. Thank You.
