Firm annotation
Section 314 sits in Part 3 on the seizure of property and fixes the scope of what a seizure reaches. Seizing movable property carries with it both natural fruits, such as crops or offspring, and legal fruits, such as rent or interest. Seizing immovable property carries the equipment and legal fruits automatically, but reaches the natural fruits only where the execution officer notifies or posts a notice at the time of the seizure. This provision belongs to the execution rules renumbered by the Civil Procedure Code Amendment Act (No. 30) B.E. 2560 (2017), and works together with the following sections on the effect of seizure and the custody of seized property.
Why this matters in practice
For creditors this means the value captured by a seizure can be larger than the asset alone: rent accruing on a seized building or interest on a seized instrument is caught too. If you want the crops or other natural fruits of seized land included, insist that the execution officer records the notice at the moment of seizure, because missing that step leaves the fruits outside the seizure. Enforcement of this kind runs through the courts, so a debt collection lawyer can help frame the seizure to capture the full value.

Frequently asked questions
Does seizing a rental property also seize the rent?
Yes. Under Section 314, seizure of immovable property extends to its legal fruits, which include rent, so rent that accrues after the seizure is captured too.
Are crops on seized land automatically seized?
Not automatically. Natural fruits such as crops are included only if the execution officer notified or posted a notice to the debtor and the possessor at the time of the seizure.
