    Naked ownership and usufruct

    By Silaworld, Created on: 16/08/2010, Last updated on: 09/10/2010

    » My Thai wife and myself both own some properties on our own names in Thailand. Now we would like to purchase another property with naked ownership on my wife's name and usufruct on my name. Is this possible under Thai law and is it enough to communicate this to registration office on the day of registration?...

    • Silaworld commented : [quote="RogerRamjet":110yge8w]silaworld, I do understand usufruct and naked ownership, which applies only in Louisiana, USA as far as I know. You are walking into an area of totally complex law, that is why I asked about the chanote title. Chanote is full title to the land, which you can never own if you are not Thai, that your wife can, if she has the money or income...etc etc etc. If you have properties (land) in your name only, then you are Thai and you don't need my help, so go to the district office or land department where they can inform you of the many Sor Kor, Sor Por etc etc titles and how and what you can do with the land.[/quote:110yge8w] RogerRamjet, I do not know about this item in USA. In Europe however, it's common practice and certainly in my country, which is Belgium by the way... No I am not Thai but my wife is. And yes, I own a house and an appartment; the house however is part of a condominium and that's why I could buy it on my name only. So, I presume my question is still unanswered?! Of course I could ask for information with one or other Thai lawfirm; but except for taking my money I fear they will tell me nonsense or plain lies.

    » I dont understand why Thailand is not using the sun which is there 365 days/year. Can anybody tell me ? I am in the process of building a house but when it comes to solar energy i might have to import myself to only then be confronted with a high import tax on such products. And that while closing...

    • Anonymous commented : Dear Janet, Insulation is a great idea. I know that rice hull insulated houses have been built in Louisiana with great success and that rice hulls are claimed to be the cheapest insulation you can buy in US if you live within 600 miles of a rice mill. I did not know they baled rice hulls. I think you may mean rice straw. In any case rice hulls are an excellent insulator and would be very appropriate for use in the right circumstances. Did you know that the use of ceiling insulation has been shown to increase air conditioning energy use in Bangkok because after the home heats up during the day, the radiant loss of heat to the night sky is impeded by the insulation. However insulation has its place and if used wisely can be a big asset.. But it takes intelligent planning. I see no reasons why it cannot be used in walls of homes and in ceilings of buildings which are air conditioned during the day. Ventilation thru good design appears to be the best first approach tried and after that then after that heat reflective coatings on walls and roofs , followed by geoexchange air conditioni8ng. INSULATION PROBABLY WILL WORK BEST IF MOVABLE , ALLOWING BREEZES TO REMOVE HEAT WHEN NECESSARY AND PROVIDING A CLOSED IN AIR CONDITIONED SPACE AS DESIRED. My ideas what do you think ? Randy
