If you are looking to add this to a chanote at Pattaya Land Office you may want to check that they will still do this.

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.......

From my experience (admittedly about 15 years ago) it might be better to use a local lawyer. 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.

I used Isaan Law as well.

I think you probably mean Isan Lawyers, based in Korat.

 

 

I used the 15 years when it was owned by Sebastian.

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.

Pretty much my experience and the "deal" was brokered by who we wee purchasing from as she had prior experience in dealing with them.
