Thai Will & Estate Lawyer for Foreigners in Nakhon Nayok — 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.

Frequently asked questions — Thai will and estate lawyer for foreigners in Nakhon Nayok

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.
