The usufructuary of an action to recover a tenement or real right, or any movable, has the right to enforce it and to oblige the owner of the action to assign him, for this purpose, his own power as owner, and to afford him whatever elements of evidence he may have. When, as a result of the enforcement of such action, he acquires the thing claimed, the usufruct shall be limited solely to the fruits, the proprietor retaining the ownership.
