Thai Will & Estate Lawyer for Foreigners in Nakhon Si Thammarat — 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 Nakhon Si Thammarat
Nakhon Si Thammarat is the most populous province in the South, with rubber, palm, coastal fishing, and a regional role in education and commerce — large enough to have three provincial courts. The caseload is correspondingly complete: rubber-plantation land and inheritance, debt and enforcement, commercial contracts, and the criminal and online-fraud work that follows urban growth.
In a province with several courts, establishing which one has jurisdiction has to come first — filing in the wrong court costs time and, in some matters, the right itself. We confirm jurisdiction and complete the documents before filing, every time. The file is run from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and we travel to appear at the Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thung Song, and Pak Phanang Provincial Courts.
