Thai Will & Estate Lawyer for Foreigners in Chai Nat — 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 Chai Nat
Chai Nat is a rice and agriculture province in the Chao Phraya basin — home to the Chao Phraya Dam (the major barrage that distributes irrigation water across the Central plains), the Chai Nat Bird Park, and river logistics along the Chao Phraya, Noi, and Tha Chin rivers. Matters here often involve land, agriculture, irrigation water rights, rice and produce sale contracts, and civil, criminal, and family litigation. We handle land and inheritance disputes, business contracts, and general cases from our Bangkok branch.
Chai Nat is a Central-region province close to Bangkok, so our Bangkok branch (Lat Phrao) can attend court and coordinate with local agencies conveniently. As a firm with 40+ years' experience, we understand land and inheritance disputes across farming districts, irrigation water rights tied to the Chao Phraya Dam, and rice and produce sale contracts — with multilingual service for clients and investors, and we travel to provincial courts nationwide.
