Prenuptial Agreement — Business Owner / Shareholder
สัญญาก่อนสมรส — เจ้าของธุรกิจ / ผู้ถือหุ้นบริษัท
Quick Answer
Shield shares, IP, and vesting earnings from division on divorce; drafted in lockstep with the Shareholder Agreement — from THB 30,000.
Timeline: 5–7 days drafting + review with corporate counsel + notary — register on the marriage day.
Legal Basis
CCC §1465–1471 & §1474 — fruits of separate property are community by default unless the prenup states otherwise.
Who it is for
Business owners, shareholders, and startup founders wanting to shield equity from becoming community property.
Key Clauses
- Schedule A — pre-marriage cap table
- Vesting: post-marriage vested shares remain separate
- Fruits (dividends, rent, royalties) remain separate
- ROFR/buy-sell coordination with co-founders
- IP created within pre-existing business scope remains separate
Documents
- MOA + shareholder register
- Cap table + vesting schedule
- Trademark/patent certificates
- Latest audited financials
Pitfalls
- Omit dividends → treated as community; half split on divorce
- Not aligned with SHA → conflicts with ROFR/buy-sell
- Omit IP + royalties → loss of critical asset ownership
FAQ
- Who owns shares vested after marriage?
- Default: community property (acquired during marriage). Prenup can carve them out as separate.
- How is IPO/exit split post-divorce?
- The prenup can lock in a formula: pre-marriage tranche stays with the founder; post-marriage upside splits per agreed ratio.
