beneficial ownership

beneficial ownership
Ownership of the benefits related to property, rather than in the property itself. For example, the beneficiary of trust income has beneficial ownership of that trust. Also, a person may have beneficial ownership of securities, such as voting rights or investment rights, without actually having his or her name on the title of the stocks.
