Considered Counsel for Estate & Inheritance Matters

A foreign will may be recognised in Thailand under certain conditions, but the process for enforcing it through Thai courts can be lengthy and uncertain. For property or assets located in Thailand, a separate Thai will is generally the more reliable arrangement. We can review your existing will and advise on what additional steps, if any, would be appropriate.

Thai intestacy law sets out a fixed order of heirs — spouse, children, parents, siblings, and so on — and divides the estate according to that order. If your intentions differ from the statutory distribution, or if there are family members in other countries, a will allows you to make those arrangements explicit and enforceable.

For a straightforward will, the process from initial conversation to notarized document usually runs two to three weeks. This allows time for an intake session, a draft for your review, any revisions, and the notarization appointment. More complex provisions may require additional time.

Where a matter involves assets or beneficiaries in other countries, we work alongside qualified counsel in those jurisdictions to ensure the Thai-side arrangements are properly coordinated. We can help identify and connect with appropriate overseas advisers where you do not already have them.
