Superficies basics

Superficies is sometimes called an above-ground-right creating separate ownership of the land and everything built or to be built upon the land. Without superficies structures fixed to the land would otherwise be legally forming a body with the land and therefore would be owned as one corporeal object together with the land. Superficies is the legal instrument under Thai law to legally create separate ownership.

A superficies contracts can include: 

• The term of the superficies (up to 30 years)
• Option of renewal of the superficies
• Option to purchase the land upon expiration of the superficies
• Compensation for the building upon expiration
