Thai Will & Estate Lawyer for Foreigners in Ang Thong — Drafting, Probate, Cross-Border Estates
Foreigners with assets in Thailand — a condominium, a Thai bank account, a vehicle, an interest in a Thai company — should have a separate Thai will covering those assets. Trying to administer Thai-situs assets via a foreign will is possible but takes longer, costs more, and routinely fails when documents need translation/legalisation that the foreign executor cannot easily produce. A short, properly drafted Thai will sidesteps all of that. We draft Thai wills for foreign residents, coordinate with home-country counsel for the rest of the estate, and handle probate at the Thai Court when the time comes.

About our team in Ang Thong
Ang Thong is a small province on the Chao Phraya plain, its economy resting on farming and mid-sized food-processing plants. The most common case by far is inherited land held jointly by heirs across several generations with no agreement on how to divide it. After that come agricultural debt and crop-purchase agreements, and family cases — which here usually arrive attached to a land division.
Inherited-land cases here are rarely stuck on the law — they are stuck on heirs who cannot talk to each other. So we start by establishing the title record and the order of heirs, so everyone knows their actual share, then propose a division that can really be executed. Only if that fails do we file — which usually proves faster and cheaper than starting in court.
