Power of Attorney for Marital Property Division (Thai Department of Lands, T.D. 21)

หนังสือมอบอำนาจ (ท.ด. 21) is the standard power of attorney form of Thailand’s Department of Lands (กรมที่ดิน). This version has the subject “แบ่งทรัพย์สินระหว่างคู่สมรส” — division of property between spouses — printed on it. With it one of the former spouses (principal) authorises another person (agent) to register the division of the plot at the Land Office: file the application, give statements to the officer and sign until the registration is completed.

The printed powers text states that the plot is put in the name of the stated former spouse because the marriage has ended and the divorce has been registered. The form records the land as shown on the title deed (โฉนด): map sheet, land number, survey page, deed number, sub-district, district and province. The form is filled in in Thai.

• the principal (ผู้มอบอำนาจ) — one of the former spouses, a party to the division;
• the agent (ผู้รับมอบอำนาจ) — the person who goes to the Land Office;
• the former spouse who will hold title — named in the powers text (this can be the principal themself);
• two witnesses who certify the principal’s signature or fingerprint.

If the agent is the other former spouse or represents them, the note on the form requires adding consent that the agent acts both in his or her own name and on behalf of the other party.

• place and date (year in the Buddhist Era, พ.ศ.);
• land details from the โฉนด title deed;
• name, Thai ID number, age, race, nationality, parents’ names, address and phone of the principal and of the agent;
• the title (นาง / นาย) and name of the person who will hold title;
• additional powers — if needed;
• signatures of the principal and two witnesses — by hand.

• the original title deed (โฉนดที่ดิน);
• divorce documents — the divorce certificate (ใบสำคัญการหย่า) or divorce registration record, and the property division agreement if there is one;
• copies of the principal’s ID card and house registration, signed by the principal;
• the agent’s ID card or passport.

The exact list, fees, taxes and processing time are not stated on the form — check with the Land Office (สำนักงานที่ดิน) where the land is registered. Under Thai law a foreigner generally cannot acquire land, so check in advance in whose name the land can be registered.

1. Open the chat on this page and describe the situation in any language: who is the principal, who will act as agent, which plot and in whose name it will be registered.
2. Send photos of the title deed and ID cards or answer the questions — the assistant writes the data in Thai script and converts the year to พ.ศ.
3. Check the fields and download the PDF.
4. Print it, sign it before two witnesses and hand it to the agent with the title deed, divorce documents and copies.
