Inheritance & Estate Law in Khon Kaen

Get an estate settled — whether the heirs agree or not

In Thailand nothing in an estate can be transferred until a court appoints an estate administrator, and that single step is where most families get stuck. We handle the whole sequence: identifying the statutory heirs and the assets, filing to appoint an administrator, preparing the estate inventory, and transferring land, bank accounts, shares and vehicles into the heirs' names. Where heirs disagree — a contested appointment, a disputed will, an heir left out — we act on either side. We also do the preventive half: wills that hold up, and structuring for families whose assets or heirs sit outside Thailand.

Frequently asked questions — Inheritance & Estate Law in Khon Kaen

8 questions answered

If the estate holds land, bank accounts or shares that must change hands, yes — banks and the Land Office act only on a court appointment.
The application can still be filed — unanimous consent is not required. An heir who objects may file an opposition, and the court hears both before appointing.
Thai law sets a statutory order of heirs, and the estate is divided by that order. We confirm who qualifies and in what share before anything is filed.
As a rule, an heir's liability is capped at what they receive from the estate — personal assets are not exposed. But the estate must be administered correctly, or that protection can be lost.
Usually not — a properly notarised and legalised power of attorney executed abroad is enough. We prepare the forms and set out the certification steps in advance.
Fees depend on the matter's nature and complexity. We always provide a clear written quote before starting. Initial consultation is free — call +66 92 254 2045.
No — initial phone, email, or LINE consultations are free, so you can assess your situation before committing.
