Following the death of an individual who bequeathed his entire estate in usufruct to his surviving spouse, with the naked ownership passing to his three children from a previous marriage, the appellate court ordered the accounting, liquidation, and partition of the estate, including the public auction of real estate, at the request of one of the parties. The surviving spouse appealed, arguing that the naked owners could not compel her, the universal usufructuary legatee, to undergo the sale of the full ownership, violating the Civil Code, and that a sale of full ownership where only naked ownership is in indivision requires the usufructuary's consent or a finding of necessity. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, affirming that under the relevant Civil Code provision, the sale of the full ownership of an asset burdened with a usufruct can be judicially ordered even against the will of the usufructuary, as partition can always be ordered.
