Art. 586. Liability for debts; usufruct inter vivos.

When the usufruct is established inter vivos, the usufructuary is not liable for debts of the grantor.

In the case of a gratuitous usufruct, the action for reimbursement shall lie against the naked owner at the end of the usufruct, subject to the provisions contained in the title: Of donations inter vivos and mortis causa. In the case of an onerous usufruct, the action shall lie against the grantor, subject to the provisions contained in the title: Sale.
