Family & Inheritance Law in Sattahip

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 Sattahip — About us

Sattahip mixes military zones, U-Tapao airport, and a coastline of holiday property. The legal work arrives in two groups. First, land and leases — boundaries, access rights, and the long leases foreign buyers need checked properly before money moves. Second, the service and contracting businesses growing around the airport, plus accident claims on the heavily-trafficked main roads.

Coastal land cases are decided by the title record and the survey plan, so we pull the Land Office file and apply for a boundary survey first — never relying on what a seller or agent says. On long leases we check the renewal terms and the exit route before signing, not after.
