Table des matières
Key points
- A usufruct gives you the right to possess, use and take the income of property owned by someone else (Sections 1417 to 1428 of the Civil and Commercial Code).
- It can be for life or for a fixed term; a fixed term cannot exceed 30 years, and the usufruct always ends on the death of the usufructuary (Section 1418).
- It must be registered at the Land Office to be effective against third parties.
- Foreigners often use it to secure a home on land bought in the name of a Thai spouse or partner.
- A usufruct cannot be passed on by inheritance.
These points summarise the law as set out in our full guide, Usufruit en Thaïlande, which is reviewed regularly. The video gives an overview; the written guide is the up to date reference.

A registered usufruct binds the new owner: it stays on the title deed until it ends.
