My wife and I bought land from her aunt during COVID, when we lived in England. So we put the land in her mother's name, because we could not travel due to COVID. We moved to Thailand 10 months ago and have recently found out that my mother-in-law had finance on her house and was not paying it, and the finance company has taken our land. We can provide evidence that we bought the land from the aunt in the means of bank transactions from my wife's son's and brother's bank with bank statements from the aunt with a letter saying. My wife bought the land

Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, the fact that the property was fully in your mother in law's name means she was the owner in fact, irrespective of how it was purchased, and we presume that you did not have a registered lien or mortgage on the property, or other contractual arrangement to protect your interests. If the land has already been seized, and not yet sold at auction, dealing with the outstanding amounts owed to the finance company will be an inevitable part of the process to recover the land.
