How Can I Confirm Who Has Signing Authority for the Sale?

To confirm who can sign on behalf of the seller, request documents that show signing authority and ownership. Look for corporate documents such as board resolutions, signing authority letters, the company registration details, and the current title deed showing ownership. If the seller is a company, verify that the person who signs the contract is listed as an authorized signer and that their authority is current. If the seller is an individual, verify their identity and relationship to the title. For off-plan projects, confirm who owns the land, who will build, who receives payments, and which entity promises completion. The goal is to identify who has the power to sell and who must perform, so you can protect your position if something goes wrong. Slow down when names, signatures or explanations do not match. And remember, this is general guidance; obtain current independent Thai legal, tax, financial or technical advice for your transaction.
