The section reflects an old concern that one spouse could pressure the other into signing away property; the answer chosen was free revocability.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p><strong>What is caught.<\/strong> The words cover far more than a document headed postnuptial agreement. A land transfer into a spouse&#8217;s name, a registered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/gift\/\">cadeau<\/a> with a usufruct reserved, a written memorandum dividing assets, and even a course of conduct showing an implied bargain have all been treated as agreements between spouses. A clause promising never to cancel is itself void under Section 150. Two things escape: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/prenuptial\/\">contrat pr\u00e9nuptial<\/a> registered with the marriage under Sections 1465 to 1467, which can be altered only by court order, and a property settlement made as part of a divorce, which is indivisible from the divorce itself.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"practical-points-for-foreigners-married-to-thais\">Points pratiques pour les \u00e9trangers mari\u00e9s \u00e0 des Tha\u00eflandais<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>The typical situation is a foreigner who, after the wedding, funds land or a house registered in the Thai spouse&#8217;s name and takes a signed agreement acknowledging the money or promising a share. That is a Section 1469 agreement, and the spouse can cancel it the day the marriage sours. The same applies to a promise to return money on divorce, or an agreement that certain assets are the foreigner&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/personal-property\/\">p\u00e9ch\u00e9 suan tua<\/a>. Notarising or translating it changes nothing.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>What holds is what is registered as a real right or done before the marriage. A usufruct or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/superficies-right\/\">superficie<\/a> registered at the Land Office in the foreigner&#8217;s favour is a right in the land, not a mere agreement, and survives cancellation. A prenuptial agreement registered on the wedding day fixes the property regime for good. Heirs cannot cancel after a spouse&#8217;s death; they can only continue a cancellation already declared.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-a-postnuptial-agreement-is-still-good-for\">\u00c0 quoi sert encore un contrat de mariage postnuptial<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>Revocable is not worthless. A written agreement during marriage is evidence, and evidence matters because Section 1474 presumes that property of doubtful origin is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/marital-property\/\">sans sommeil<\/a>. An agreement recording that a condominium was bought with funds brought from abroad before the marriage, listing each spouse&#8217;s separate assets at a given date, or documenting a gift between spouses, helps a court classify property at divorce even if the agreement itself has been cancelled.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Instrument<\/th><th>Sections<\/th><th>Cancellable by one spouse?<\/th><th>Registered?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>contrat pr\u00e9nuptial<\/td><td>1465 to 1467<\/td><td>No, court order needed<\/td><td>Yes, with the marriage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Postnuptial agreement<\/td><td>1469<\/td><td>Yes, at will, up to one year after the marriage ends<\/td><td>Non<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Divorce settlement<\/td><td>1514 to 1515<\/td><td>No, part of the divorce<\/td><td>Yes, with the divorce<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Foire aux questions<\/h2>\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list\">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Un accord postnuptial est-il valide en Tha\u00eflande ?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>C'est valable mais fragile.

Un contrat de mariage doit \u00eatre enregistr\u00e9 lors du mariage en vertu de l'article 1466 ; un accord sign\u00e9 par la suite est un accord post-nuptial r\u00e9gi par l'article 1469 et peut \u00eatre annul\u00e9 par l'un ou l'autre des \u00e9poux. Les couples d\u00e9j\u00e0 mari\u00e9s qui souhaitent une protection durable utilisent des droits enregistr\u00e9s tels qu'un usufruit, ou un r\u00e8glement de biens en cas de divorce.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Mon \u00e9pouse tha\u00eflandaise peut-elle annuler l'accord me donnant une part de la maison ?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Oui, s'il a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait apr\u00e8s le mariage.

Un usufruit ou une superficie enregistr\u00e9 au bureau foncier \u00e0 votre nom est un droit r\u00e9el et n'est pas affect\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p
