Yes, exactly. But then some people know it all!Why do people have to start throwing insults about over what has been written as fact - it would appear that you Nereus have had a bad experience and HHTel had a good one with regard to the application of the Thai Law. I think most of us know that you can never be sure of anything in Thailand, even if the law says its black,there will be times when its white, but please just keep it as what you have experienced and let the readers decide what route to follow.
Selling House after Death of Wife?

Re: Selling House after Death of Wife?
So many foreigners here think that they have no chance in a court of law. Some people are quick to point out that fact and advise to write off any losses and to get on with their life. People should be aware that that is not the case. With a good lawyer and a little research, if you are in the right then you have every chance of winning.
My case is just one of many. More to the OP's topic, a friend in Chonburi some years ago was in the situation where his wife had died and her family kicked him out of the house and they moved in. In court, the judge ordered the family out. The foreigner (surviving spouse) was given 365 days in which to sell the house. If it was not sold in that time, it's siezed by the court and put up for auction at the execution office. The proceeds, albeit less from an auction, goes to the surviving spouse. In this case he was able to sell in less than 3 months. So he recouped the outlay he'd made on the residence.
I know of several more successful cases of a varied nature here in HH.
So, if you are in the right, seek out a good lawyer for advice. Advice is usually free and a good lawyer wont take on a case he doesn't think he can win.
