Prenuptial Agreements in Thailand
Thai Prenuptial Agreements are authorized by law in Thailand. Prenuptial or Antenupitial Agreements must conform to the Civil & Commercial Code in Thailand. It is important that you seek counsel from a registered lawyer, attorney or solicitor familiar with the laws in your home country and in Thailand before preparing a prenuptial agreement with a Thai national fiancé. Our law firm specializes in family law (marriage, prenuptial agreements, and divorce) in Thailand with our well experience lawyers, attorneys and solicitors who can draft prenuptial agreements tailored to your specific needs.
History of Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements have been around for thousands of years. The practice dates back to the ancient Egyptians. Many years ago, the parents of the bride and groom negotiated the agreement on the new couple’s behalf. In the present time, engaged couples do their own negotiation, however family members often provide feedback to the new couple who will enter into marriage.
Definition of Prenuptial Agreement
A Prenuptial Agreement ("prenup" for short) is a written contract created by two people before they are married. A prenup typically lists all of the property each person owns (as well as any debts) and specifies what each person's property rights will be after the marriage.
In some jurisdictions, a prenuptial agreement is known as an “antenuptial agreement,” or in today’s terminology, as a “premarital agreement.” The word “agreement” is sometimes substituted for “contract” as in “prenuptial contract.”
Who Should Make a Prenuptial Agreement?
US Citizens: Prenuptial agreements are valid in all 50 states. In fact, since 1983, at least 26 states have enacted a version of the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act, which encourages enforcement of prenups. Case law is sufficiently developed that a well-drafted prenuptial agreement, properly prepared by counsel for both parties, can withstand the toughest scrutiny.
UK Citizens: Prenuptial Agreements are not recognized by law in United Kingdom. However, some weight “may” be given by the court; it will nevertheless take the content of the agreement into account when reaching its decision. It is strongly recommended for British and UK Citizens to draft a prenuptial agreement for prior to marriage to Thai fiancé.
EU Citizens:
Australia Citizens:
Thai Citizens: Prenuptial Agreements are valid and enforceable under Thailand Law.
