Dividing up Land in Thailand
My mother-in-law wants to split up her land between 3 sons and her daughter(my wife). Most of it is suppose to be in her name, however, some of the land is not in Mom's name. I don't know the details on that.
When my wife called the land office she was told that the government would not allow the land to be split at this time in that area (Khorat) due to some pending, possible, government land action in the area. ???
Does anyone know anything about that possible action?
Can someone here explain what is legal, not legal, etc. what to do and not to do in land transactions here in Thailand. Buying, selling, proper title, etc.?????
Just outside of Khorat her mother has approximately 33 Rai, 12 Rai, 6Rai, and 2 or 3 other small holdings. Her husband died about 10 years ago. My mother-in-law and my wife, both, know nothing about the law. I know less than nothing about Thai Law. My father-in-law, who did the previous transactions, purchases, whatever, died about 10 years ago.
