About our team in Narathiwat
Narathiwat has the longest border with Malaysia of the southern border provinces, with Sungai Kolok and Tak Bai as its main crossings. Its economy rests on rubber, border trade, and workers commuting to the Malaysian side, and it is one of the four provinces where the court applies Islamic law on family and inheritance with a Dato Yutithum sitting. The caseload spans cross-border trade, labour, land, and family and inheritance under Islamic principles.
Families with members working or holding assets on the Malaysian side commonly hit trouble at the estate-administration stage, because the assets sit in another jurisdiction under different principles. We set the order of steps clearly at the outset so the estate does not stall on both sides, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Narathiwat Provincial Court.
