My understanding was that they refused to offer them from about 7 years ago although this could have changed more recently. The lawyer should be able to tell you.......... Even though not based in Pattaya I used Issan Law for this 11 years ago and they were mentioned very recently in a thread on here. They sent a junior lawyer down to sort it out on the day of transfer but I still needed to grease the wheels....... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to set up a usufruct on our house in Banchang, Rayong, and went to a pukka lawyer in Pattaya on the US Embassy recommended list. When we went to our local office to register it, accompanied by a young lady from the lawyer's office, the official refused point blank to register it on some grounds, I don't know whether they were spurious or not. The young lady just looked clueless, and we just had to leave. The lawyer said that it was a properly drawn and signed agreement and should still be enforceable, though I doubt that. The point is that at the time I didn't know whether the official was angling for a bribe, and I didn't dare ask. If I had used a local lawyer who knew the people in that office the outcome might have been different. That I have an expensive and useless document doesn't bother me any more. I can't imagine the circumstances where the missis or her family would want to chuck me out, and if they did I could easily fend for myself.

Yes that's who I dealt with as well. I did ask on an earlier thread where they were mentioned as seems it is now owned by another foreigner.

Agree 100% if you have a good rec and the cost is reasonable. 1 hour ago, Eff1n2ret said: The point is that at the time I didn't know whether the official was angling for a bribe, and I didn't dare ask. Pretty much my experience and the "deal" was brokered by who we wee purchasing from as she had prior experience in dealing with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
