Thai Will & Estate Lawyer for Foreigners in Kamphaeng Phet — 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 Kamphaeng Phet

Kamphaeng Phet is a major sugarcane, cassava, and oil-palm province in the lower North, with sugar mills and buying yards at the centre of its economy. The disputes that arise are supply contracts and arguments over quality or weight, debt recovery between mills, farmers, and brokers, seasonal labour cases, and large-plot land disputes.

Quality and weight disputes are won or lost on weighing records, sampling, and the conditions written into the contract in advance — not on arguing afterwards. We put the contract and the document trail in place before the problem exists, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Kamphaeng Phet Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — Thai will and estate lawyer for foreigners in Kamphaeng Phet

2 questions answered

Strongly recommended for any Thai-situs assets. A foreign will can in theory be probated in Thailand, but in practice it must be translated, legalised by your embassy, and then processed by the Thai Court — months of delay during which assets are frozen. A short Thai will limited to your Thai assets, drafted to dovetail with (not revoke) your foreign will, removes that bottleneck and is inexpensive to prepare.
Yes, subject to the foreign-quota rule. If the building's foreign quota has room, the heir can register the condo in their own name. If the quota is full, the heir must dispose of the unit within a reasonable period (commonly understood as one year) and inherit the sale proceeds instead. Planning ahead — knowing the quota status now — avoids forced-sale stress later.
