However my advice would be to completely ignore wasting money on lawyers. Simply go ( with a Thai speaker ) to the relevant land office and ask them directly what, if any, issues may be. They are generally very helpful. I have purchased , and sold, 5 properties over the years..... using a POA from my daughter . here is what i have experienced ( 3 different locations / land offices ) . Mostly done all on my own, but did have a lawyer involved (once mine...... another time the buyer had one) 1. If a "simple sale" , easiest being One Chanote being transfered/sold between 2 individuals then with a proper POA (usually land office will want a fairly recent one..... each office will tell you different times. IN Fact, everything will be up to the discretion of the office you are dealing with !!! ) 2. If the POA is from a foreigner (being the buyer OR seller)....... then the POA form and ID and Tabien bahn must ALL BE NOTARIZED and also brought to the THAI embassy ( or done by post if allowed" in the country where they are residing at time of sale.) FOR VERIFICATION ! NONE of the Land Offices i dealt with would consider doing it any other way. Period . 3. Regarding payment : If on the POA (if being sold) the owner states that he wants the payment made to so and so ..... that has been accepted in my case . I being the father and not Somchai may have something to do with that. Again... remember that most important DISCRETION from No. 1 i have more than 10 experiences, some easy and some not so much. Most were not so hard, but surprises and MAI DAI were things i had to deal with. KEEP COOL at all times. NOTE: i always tried to avoid having a lawyer involved. once it helped me. the time the buyer brought one it COMPLICATED things .

Go to the land dept you will be dealing with ! forget asking lawyers, friends, girlfriends brothers..... anyone other than me hahaha Think of all the facts and questions beforehand. Keep it simple if possible. I always asked the really important questions to a HUA NAH . They were always helpful..... and later on in my dealings I learned to be "helpful" to them as well ???? You would be amazed how they smile the next time you walk in. BUT......they would not do anything illegal , just help to facilitate . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
