What is Real Estate POA?
Real estate POA is a Special POA designed specifically for land and building transactions: buy-sell land, condos, houses; mortgage and redemption; rights and juristic act registration; servitudes, superficies; long-term leases (over 3 years requiring registration); title transfer per will. Documents must meet Land Department requirements with complete property details and Notary Public certification. Thai Notary Law has 3,000+ real estate POA experience over 15 years for both Thai and foreign clients.
Why Do Foreigners Need Real Estate POA?
Foreigners who buy condos in Thailand (foreign quota max 49%) often need POA when: returning home but needing title transfer; managing condo juristic matters; renting or selling property; mortgaging with Thai banks; renewing land leases (Leasehold); registering rights at Land Department. POA must specify detailed property information: title deed number, land number, survey page, subdistrict, district, province, area, project name (for condos).
Required Documents for Real Estate POA
Required documents: 1) ID card/passport of principal; 2) ID card of attorney-in-fact; 3) Title deed/condo ownership certificate copy; 4) House registration; 5) Marriage certificate (if applicable — spouse consent required); 6) Condo juristic person certificate; 7) Property location map; 8) Sale-purchase agreement (if any); 9) Price and conditions (for sale). For foreigners: original passport + visa/Work Permit.
Legal Framework for Real Estate POA
Real estate POA falls under multiple laws: Civil and Commercial Code Sections 797-814 (agency and authorization), Section 456 (immovable property sales require written documents), Land Code Sections 71-72 (rights and juristic act registration), Condominium Act B.E. 2522. The Land Department requires Form Tor.Dor.21 alongside the attorney-drafted POA for immediate processing. Our attorneys are well-versed in these regulations and prepare complete, compliant documents.
Real Estate POA Pricing — Transparent Rates
Real estate POA pricing: Single-language drafting price on request; Bilingual price on request; Notary Public certification price on request; Form Tor.Dor.21 add price on request; Consular/Apostille add price on request. Total: price on request. Discount: 10-15% for multiple plots. On-site Notary add price on request. Same-day express 50% surcharge. Final price, no hidden fees.
Real Estate POA vs Form Tor.Dor.21
Form Tor.Dor.21 is the Land Department's authorization form — used only for land transactions with limited scope per form fields and minimal additional conditions. Attorney-drafted POA allows comprehensive details: minimum-maximum price, execution timeline, special conditions (e.g., no sale below appraised value). In practice, we recommend both: attorney POA (comprehensive) + Tor.Dor.21 (for Land Department). Thai Notary Law prepares both at a single price.

Important Precautions for Real Estate POA
Key precautions: 1) Verify title deed accuracy — matching deed and land numbers; 2) Spouse consent required for marital property — sale without consent may be voidable; 3) Set minimum price to prevent underselling; 4) Set POA validity — recommend 6 months-1 year; 5) Specify all properties clearly; 6) Keep copies; 7) Check encumbrances — mortgages, servitudes, leases before POA; 8) Consult attorney first — Thai Notary Law offers initial case assessment.
