Terms Used In Louisiana Civil Code 1502

  • Beneficiary: A person who is entitled to receive the benefits or proceeds of a will, trust, insurance policy, retirement plan, annuity, or other contract. Source: OCC

Nevertheless, the legitime may not be satisfied in whole or in part by a usufruct or an income interest in trust.  When a forced heir is both income and principal beneficiary of the same interest in trust, however, that interest shall be deemed a full ownership interest for purposes of satisfying the legitime if the trust conforms to the provisions of the Louisiana Trust Code governing the legitime in trust.  

Amended by Acts 1981, No. 765, §1; Acts 1996, 1st Ex. Sess., No. 77, §1.
