Daffy D Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 No problem buying or transferring land to children. But once in their name you cannot do anything with it without the courts permission, so best to build before the transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 How could this be done as being a falang I would not be able to buy and build?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooEng Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 How could this be done as being a falang I would not be able to buy and build?? By purchasing the land in the name of your dual nationality child - they aren't only half Thai in legal terms they are full Thai and are accorded all the rights of a full Thai citizen, and can own land. Buy the land with your money, but the name on the deed is your child. In order to sell the land both you and the child's Thai mother have to petition the court for approval. When the child reaches the age of majority (18 or 21, can't remember), they assume full ownership and control of the land. We bought a house last year and have the deeds jointly in our two boys name - very simple to do and not appear to be an uncommon legal procedure, the clerks at the land office were clearly familiar with it.

Which I understand will seldom be approved . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
