1. “The rights and obligations of the naked owner are limited in comparison to those of the usufructuary. The naked owner can dispose of his naked ownership and the alienation or encumbrance of the property subject to the usufruct; however, he cannot affect the rights of the usufructuary. La.Civ.Code art. 603. Furthermore, the naked owner must not interfere with the rights of the usufruc-tuary and may not make alterations or improvements to the property. La.Civ. Code arts. 605 and 606. Consideration of the rights and obligations of the usufructuary and the •naked owner leads to the conclusion that the usufructuary, not the naked owner, is obligated to maintain the property subject to the usufruct. Accordingly, we find no error with the trial court’s conclusion that [the naked owners] do not have a duty to inspect and maintain the property at issue.”
