A paper title deed looks powerful, but the Land Office<\/a> register is what controls the official record. Supreme Court Decision<\/a> No. 914\/2569 shows how a false \u201clost deed\u201d report was used to obtain a replacement Chanote<\/a> and transfer property to another person. This case highlights the serious consequences of a False Lost Chanote in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defendant received a final sentence of four months\u2019 imprisonment without suspension. The court also upheld an order requiring the defendant to pay THB 4.8 million to the deceased seller\u2019s estate<\/a> under Section 44\/1 of the Thai Criminal Procedure Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision matters for property buyers, sellers, heirs, and lawyers because the original Chanote had never been lost. The seller still held it. Even so, the registered owner obtained a replacement deed after giving false information to the police and the Land Office, tying into the broader issue of False Lost Chanote in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Decision in One Minute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The agreed price for the land and commercial building was THB 6 million. The buyer paid a total of THB 1 million. A Chanote was issued in the buyer\u2019s name, but the seller kept the original deed while waiting for the balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The buyer later reported the Chanote as lost, although the buyer knew the seller still held it. The police report was then used to request a replacement title deed from the Chiang Rai Provincial Land Office, Mae Sai Branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the replacement was issued, the property was mortgaged, redeemed and sold to another person. The seller discovered the transfer during a Land Office search. The seller later died, and the court-appointed estate administrator<\/a> continued the compensation claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Court of Appeal<\/a> Region 5 imposed six months\u2019 imprisonment, reduced the sentence by one-third under Criminal Code Section 78<\/a>, leaving four months. The Supreme Court<\/a> upheld the sentence without suspension and confirmed THB 4.8 million compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
