A fixed term cannot exceed thirty years, though it can be renewed, and a life usufruct always ends on the usufructuary&#8217;s death (section 1418, applying section 1403 paragraph 3). A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/juristic-person\/\">personne morale<\/a>, which has no lifetime, can therefore hold one only for a fixed term of up to thirty years. The usufruct is registered on the land title at the Land Department and is a common structure for foreigners married to Thai nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Full guide: <a href=\"\/fr\/usufruct-agreement-in-thailand\/\">usufruit en Tha\u00eflande<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"related-usufruct-terms\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Terms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Usufruitier<\/strong> (\u0e1c\u0e39\u0e49\u0e17\u0e23\u0e07\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e17\u0e18\u0e34\u0e40\u0e01\u0e47\u0e1a\u0e01\u0e34\u0e19): the person holding the usufruct.

In Thai law it is absorbed into usufruct and into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/right-of-habitation\/\">droit d&#039;habitation<\/a> (CCC Sections 1402 to 1409).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fructus<\/strong>: the right to collect the natural and civil fruits: crops, rents, interest, offspring of livestock, without diminishing the property.
