Family & Inheritance Law in Sa Kaeo

Family and inheritance matters handled with discretion

Divorce, custody, Thai wills, probate and estate administration, and disputes over family assets — including succession for foreign heirs and the rules that apply when a foreigner inherits property in Thailand.

Family & Inheritance Law in Sa Kaeo — About us

Sa Kaeo holds the Aranyaprathet-Poipet crossing, the highest-value Thai-Cambodian trade gate, and is a special economic development zone. The disputes are fully those of a border town: customs procedure, cross-border sale and distributorship agreements, debt recovery where the counterparty sits on the Cambodian side, migrant labour, and warehousing and transport matters.

Cross-border debt is won or lost when the contract is signed — which court, which law, and whether any security sits on the Thai side. Where none of that was set up in advance, chasing it afterwards is expensive. We draft terms that can actually be enforced, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Sa Kaeo Provincial Court.
