A usufruct is a registered right that can allow a person to possess, use and enjoy another person’s immovable property, subject to the registered terms. It is not land ownership and may have limits regarding duration, transfer and inheritance. It can be useful for occupation planning in some family or ownership structures, but it must be drafted and registered correctly and assessed alongside mortgages, leases and succession plans. This is general educational information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Property structures, taxes, licences and registration practice can change or depend on the facts. Use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified accountant before committing money or signing documents.
