Which lawyer you recommend for land registration on a khmer wife name?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

No, as partner of Khmer, land cannot be sold without approval from us both.

Of course, because foreigners cannot own land.

Yes, as a foreigner you cannot own the land legalky...but If your name is on the purchase agreement/contract/title transfer, etc., then the other person cannot sell the property without your authorisation.

Whats you experience / option about partnership with wife?? You think she will walk away if the property is nice value and on her name??
She won't walk away, you will. Her family will help you pack. I know a girl that some dummy bought a house for, he was kicked out before the ink dried. I know another girl, this time the guy was a bit smarter, he put both of their names on the paperwork. She kicked him out, and they have spent months in court settling it. Final judgment was he lost about 75% of what he put in and with legal fees etc, he'd be lucky to get anything back. She was not ordered to sell the property as she has children - not his kids, so she can keep the house. She's got no money so he'll be lucky to get anything back. Refer back to rule number 1 before any purchase.

I don't know but perhaps you can set up a company to purchase the land without a Khmer partner, and then lease it to her on proviso that you always reside there; if it's a residential property. It seems like a lot of fucking around though. Personally, I'll pull the ripcord on that one, but YMMV, it's just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt as I'm approaching cranky old man status.
