Here in the Pattaya/Banglamung land office they don't normally allow mortgages to be registered between husband and wife. This may be due to the fact, that most couples don't have a seperation of property. Without it, a married couple forms a financial unit and as such both partners can't effective...

Your last sentance, this means any mortgage or loan agreements that guys have with their wives etc for the house/land is worthless ?? Yes and No, it depends on the circumstances. Usually any personal loan agreement between married partners is more or less wortless, simply because most couples don't...

Nawty, it's not just hearsay, I have made a notarially certified prenup with my Thai wife AFTER we had married. A huge part of the Thai Law was derived from German Law (remember, even the national anthem was composed by a German) and a very close Thai friend of mine I am doing business with for over...

Apparently with a usufruct, if you are married and sign this up, then the wife/landowner has the right to cnacel the usufruct at any time she wished. Something to do with not being a 'real' agreement between 2 individual parties. If it is signed and you are not married, or before marriage it is fin...

The usufruct is so straightforward, as the previous two pages clearly describe, that Thomas need have no fears whatsoever. Jazzman, I agree, an usufruct may prevent Thomas' wife to sell the land without his approval, which is exactly what he wants. But what about the registration of a personal loan...

There is a paper that needs to get signed by the foreigner married to a Thai woman, which normally gets triggered if the woman last name has been changed during marriage to a non-thai name.

I talked to my wife about this usufruct thing tonight. She doesn't have any problem with that but is worried that she might be in trouble when going to the land office with me. She bought the land 2 years ago. We are married in France but not in Thailand and she didn't mention her marital situation...
