Transfer of Property

To register the transfer of ownership at the land department takes a lot of time and have to follow many procedures that required Thai language. In practical, most of the foreigners authorize the lawyer via Power of Attorney acting on behalf of the foreigner dealing with the land department.
The property transaction that required to be registered at the Land Department are Sale and Purchase of Property, Lease of Property, Mortgage of Property, Right of Habitation, Servitude or other burdens over the property.
