Syllabus
<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. In interpreting a last will and testament, effect must be given to the words ot the bequest, “ to be his as long as he lives.”</p> <p>2. The clause is not attacked by the heirs, and the legatee, on the other hand, asks for its enforcement as being absolute and unrestricted.</p> <p>3. when it becomes necessary to treat with the subject of life estate, it is possible, consistently with jurisprudence, to safeguard interests by requiring compliance with the laws relative to usufruct.</p> <p>4. Security to secure the return of'the property may be required of the usufructuary, which, however, cannot be made to operate as a hinderance to the enjoyment of the property, for the usufructuary is entitled to the revenues resulting, after having complied with the articles of the Code on the subject, even'though he may not have furnished security.</p> <p>5. The one treated as usufructuary cannot be required to ,pay the debts of the succession before going into possession and enjoying the usufruct.</p>
