Special Power of Attorney — Full Service
Specific Power of Attorney for designated transactions — land sales, company registration, inheritance, or court proceedings. Safer than General POA with clearly defined scope. By expert Notary Public attorneys.
💡 Quick Answer
Special POA is limited to specified transactions only, e.g., selling one plot of land. Safer than General POA. Starting price on request, 1-2 business days.
What is a Special POA?
A Special Power of Attorney authorizes another person to act only for specifically designated matters — e.g., selling land title deed #12345 in Bangrak, registering ABC Co., Ltd., receiving inheritance from XYZ Bank, or handling court case #1234/2567. Special POA is safer than General POA because the attorney-in-fact can only act on specified matters. Once completed, the POA expires automatically. Our Notary Public attorneys draft comprehensive documents covering every detail, per the Civil and Commercial Code Section 798 requiring clear specification of delegated acts.
When to Use Special POA Instead of General POA?
Choose Special POA when: the transaction is a single clear matter; you don't want the attorney-in-fact to handle other matters; you want maximum security against misuse; the destination agency requires Special POA (e.g., Land Department, some banks); the transaction is high-value requiring detailed specification. Simple comparison: Special POA is like a key to one room; General POA is like a master key.

Special POA for Land Department
The Land Department has specific requirements for POA: must specify title deed/NS.3 Gor number; complete land location (subdistrict, district, province); transaction type (buy, sell, mortgage, etc.); principal's signature with 2 witnesses. Recommend using Land Department's standard form (Tor.Dor.21) alongside attorney-drafted POA. Notary Public certification helps faster Land Department acceptance. Thai Notary Law has 2,000+ POA for Land Department experience.
