Thai Will & Estate Lawyer for Foreigners in Samut Prakan — 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.
