beneficial interest
An interest in the enjoyment or benefit of property. This is separate from the legal ownership of the property and a legal owner is not necessarily entitled to the benefit of the property. There may be more than one beneficial owner of property, just as there may be more than one legal owner.
The legal owner may hold the legal interest on trust for the beneficial owner.
A beneficial interest is sometimes called an equitable interest.
