My name on the chanot

[Aforek]

Hello ,  I currently live in a village with a family, the chanot is in the name of one person and now the family wants to divide into 5, each person will have a chanot: I agree to pay for 3 (9000 baht) but in exchange I want my name to be put on the chanot of my wife's daughter (although the house is in my wife's name, is this a problem?) I think this has already happened, I know farangs who were able to have their name put on the chanot : how to do it ? 

Thank you for your help

Assume this is a house.  
 

More information may be needed.

 

Who actually paid for the home?  If a farang , was the sole person on the chanote their spouse or GF?

 

Did the other 5 contribute?  If not, they have no right.

it's a house, I paid for the house 

the sole person on the chanot is my sister in law ( sister of my wife ) 

my wife"s mother has the land, she gave him to his 5 children to build their houses and for convenience , put my sister in law name on the chanot

now they want to have their own chanot  ( my mother in law is very old and not in good health ) 

"did the other contribute " ?. I don't understand what you mean

 Land in Thailand can only be owned by Thai people.

The process of diving the land such that one Chanote becomes 5 in easily possible.

There will a small  administration fee at the land office.

 

Your phrase'I want my name to be put on the chanot of my wife's daughter (although the house is in my wife's name, --is confusing.

If you are a foreigner -your name cannot be on the Chanote

Did others pay help pay for the house.  
 

You already answered the question.  You paid for the house.

 

Why would you have the sister in law on the chanote instead of your wife?

All I can say is this is what can happen when a farang decides to build his GF or wife a house on land already owned by a Thai.

 

It gets complicated.

 

Best to avoid all together.

 

Does one really need this BS in their life.

 

You’ll never see the money you invested in the house again.

 

Hopefully, you won’t get kicked out of the house.

I purshased a house in 2007 in Pattaya.I had the Chanote put in my step-daughters name.I then had a 30 year lease drawn up (30 yrs) and registered with the Land Office.My name is on the Chanote (along with hers) as the registered lessee.All done through a law firm.

I believe foreigners name can be on the Chanut of a condo, if it is purchased in the foreign quota.

It can't be on the Chanut of a piece of land.

Your name will be on the backside of the Chanut.

Wife's mother has big land and 5 children.

Puts single chanote in sister-in-laws's name for convenience.

5 children build houses.

Now they want to separate into 5 individual plots each with chanote.

 

They must decide on how to split the property and have it surveyed.

Then they have to apply to have single chanote split into 5.

Your wife's house/land chanote put in your daughter's name.

You get a usufruct, with your name entered on rear of chanote.

It's locked up in the safe but I recall it being on the same page as the rest. Its quite a large document and there are several previous entries and our names are in line as the next (last) entry.
