Co-owners should document who can approve budgets, repairs, rentals, borrowing, sale, occupancy and emergency action before a disagreement occurs.
Which decisions need unanimous approval?
- sale;
- mortgage;
- long lease;
- major renovation;
- change of use.
Which decisions can be delegated?
- routine maintenance;
- tenant communication;
- bill payment;
- emergency mitigation;
- record keeping.
How should deadlock be resolved?
- written notice;
- meeting;
- independent valuation;
- mediation;
- sale or buyout process.
Co-owners should anchor these rights in the underlying fractional and co-ownership guide and record them in a written co-ownership agreement; when deadlock persists, hiring a Thai lawyer for mediation is usually faster than an informal standoff.
Where should you continue your research?
Agree on decision rights before buying.
Document voting thresholds, delegation and deadlock procedures.
