Looking for a reliable Notarial Services Attorney in Sakon Nakhon Province (for signing Dutch powers of attorney).

 

Hello everyone,

 

My wife and I are looking for a reliable Notarial Services Attorney somewhere in Sakon Nakhon province.
We live in Amphoe Ban Muang, so ideally we would like someone as close to this area as possible, because we must be physically present to sign.

The reason is that we need to sign powers of attorney that will be used by a Dutch notary for a property-related transaction in the Netherlands. Therefore, the Dutch notary requires:

 

1. That the POA forms (prepared by the Dutch notary)
   are signed in the presence of a Thai Notarial Services Attorney.

2. That the Thai notary verifies our identity (passport check).

3. That the Thai notary legalises/certifies our signatures.

4. We then send the original, legalised documents back to the Netherlands.

Just to clarify a common misunderstanding

I have seen posts mentioning the cheap “standard Thai Land Office Power-of-Attorney forms” (the ones you can buy in a stationery shop for 20–50 baht). These are valid only for the Thai Land Office, for land transactions within Thailand.

However, these forms:

• are not valid for international use,

• are not accepted by Dutch notaries,

• do not contain the required legal wording,

• and do not meet the legalisation requirements.

So unfortunately, those Thai Land Office forms don’t apply in our case.

What we actually need

A Notarial Services Attorney (as registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand) who can:

• witness our signatures on the Dutch POA documents,

• verify our identity,

• legalise the signatures,

• and issue the proper notarial certification.

Questions

1. Does anyone know a trustworthy Notarial Services Attorney in Sakon Nakhon province?

2. Preferably near Ban Muang, Sakon Nakhon City, or surrounding areas.

3. Does anyone have experience with a Thai notary who handles international documents (especially for European countries)?

4. Do the POA forms need to be translated into Thai, or can they remain in English? (The Dutch notary says English is fine, but I’m unsure how Thai notaries handle this.)

5.  

Any recommendations, names, office contacts, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you very much!

I may try in some foreign run,  housing developpement and ask the manager who he does use for selling their properties.
