Usufruct

Lets the holder possess, use and take benefits from land or a house for up to 30 years or the holder's life, ending at the holder's death.

Superficies

Lets the holder own buildings on another's land for up to 30 years or the life of the owner or holder; generally transferable and inheritable.

Combining with a will

For example, leave land to children by will while registering a lifetime usufruct for a foreign spouse to reside; assess case by case.

Registration required

Both must be registered at the land office to be real rights; fees follow Department of Lands rates.

Not land ownership

These rights do not make foreigners landowners and should not be used to circumvent restrictions.

Owner obligations

Set out repairs, taxes and expenses between owner and holder clearly.
