Thai Will & Estate Lawyer for Foreigners in Saraburi — 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 Saraburi
Saraburi is Thailand's cement and construction-materials base, and the land gateway every truck from the Northeast passes on the way into Bangkok. The legal work holds to three things: labor at the plants and quarries; contractor and materials-supply agreements, where the disputes are usually about progress payments and deductions; and land cases spanning farmland, project sites, and boundaries running up against concession areas.
Saraburi is within reach of both our Bangkok and Khon Kaen offices. On construction disputes we start by reading the progress-payment records and the full correspondence trail, because these cases turn on the order of the documents, not on testimony given afterwards.
