He's responsible if she doesn't keep up with the payments. 

Only if he did jointly sign a loan agreement or acted as guarantor.  Spouses do not automatically become responsible for the others debts if they were taken out solely by her and he in no way benefited from it.

Were any documents in English?

Can he read Thai?

Nope. He said he a signed a few pages of the contract as her husband. As she is legally married, the husband needed to sign the documents too.

 

He didn't need to show any financial documents or anything else.

 

He arrived in the morning, showed up at the finance bank with his passport, he signed a few pages of the contract and that was it.

Sounds like he's the guarantor, so he's absolutely liable for it if she doesn't pay.

Well I doubt that. Wouldn't he have had to show some financial stuff first? ????

Not sure what the procedure is for something as big of a purchase as a condo, but my wife signed as guarantor when a relative bought a car on finance, without showing anything related to her finances (she basically didn't own anything at that point and didn't have an income anyway).

Seems to me, to put it in plain English he has signed to be her guarantor. And if she defaults on payments 

he's responsible to pay up. 

 

OK she works for CP and they help staff to get loans (maybe) and help to make payments easy by deducting money from salary and sending it to the person/institution who granted the loan.

 

That absolutely clearly DOESN'T mean CP is the guarantor for the loan.

 

Why would CP ever put their company into such a situation? They wouldn't

 

 

He signed some pages as her husband. What does that mean? Why?

Maybe true, but it's very unusual for a bank to accept someone as a guarantor without checking whether that person could pay up if needed.

 

This is all about risk management, and banks / finance institutions always make sure they have a situation where the risk to the bank is well covered.

Civil and Commercial Code Section 1476: You need the permission of your spouse to obtain a mortgage on immovable property.

 

Without a spousal signature the bank will not lend

That's interesting. That no married Thai will be granted a mortgage without their spouse also signing on the dotted line.

now the gentleman in question has signed he is both jointly and severally liable for the debt as a result of Civil and Commercial Code Section 1490 (4).

 

This isn't because he is a guarantor, it is because he is a co-signer with his wife.

Interesting. 

 

Couldn't he just say no, that he's got zero interest in the property or paying for it, and tell them to take the property and sell it?

What's that got to do with it?

 

Because depending on her position she may indeed got great terms on her loan.

 

My wife still knows a lot of people in that company and most of them are good with money and don't face any financial problems. Some of the best people work there.

I asked what he signed, and he said just some finance contracts where they needed his passport and visa copies, and his signature on all the contracts because she is his wife. He went to the bank with the agent and estranged wife and signed documents with them.

Odd that, when my wife bought a house on mortgage the only documents I signed were at the land office stating the purchase was nothing to do with me.

He can say what he wants, but the bank will follow its procedures.

 

If the bank can not obtain payment for the mortgage eventually the property will be repossessed and sold.

 

The balance owed after any such action will still be owed jointly and severally.

 

At this point the bank can ask the Court for an attachment of earnings order against hus wife, and seek out assets of the husband also.

 

The most obvious assets are condominium units, vehicles and cash held in bank accounts.

I wonder if that clause is still in common use?

He laughed and said he'd put his condo in his son's name and transfer his money to his bank account if there was ever a knock on the door. ????

 

Sounds fair enough.

she's definitely not going to be paying it back ,

That's correct. Apparently it's deducted automatically from her CP salary. So CP will be paying it back to a mortgage company they probably own, via a bank that they also probably own. ????

Could he be legally responsible for it? It would be a bit late now.

If he signed as a guarantor yes.

Better option would have been to get a divorce first.

 

But perhaps they still have plans of reconciliation.

his estranged wife

"estanged" - a loss of affection, a turning away from someone. Still married and husband does what he feels will improve their relationship. In the long run might be financially cheaper than a divorce.
