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.
