Abstract:

The purpose of the current article is to trace the genesis and development of the usufruct from Roman law to its contemporary form in Bulgarian legislation, in accordance with the currently effective Property Act. Central to this study is the historical and comparative legal analysis of the predecessor legislation–the Act on Property, Ownership, and Servitudes, which was in force from 1904 until its repeal in 1951. Particular emphasis is placed on the preexisting differentiation of the usufruct in three separate rights — usufruct (ususfructus), use (usus), and habitation (habitatio) under the repealed Act on Property, Ownership, and Servitudes.

Keywords:
