Thai Will & Estate Lawyer for Foreigners in Uttaradit — 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 Uttaradit
Uttaradit sits where the North meets the upper Central region, with the Phu Du crossing into Laos, the Sirikit Dam, and a commercial fruit economy built on Long Laplae durian. The cases that arise reflect that mix: land and expropriation disputes around state projects, crop purchase contracts and agricultural debt, and small-to-mid-sized border trade.
Expropriation and project-adjacent land matters run on deadlines that permanently forfeit rights once missed, so we check the time limits and documents first, every time. We run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch and travel to appear at the Uttaradit Provincial Court as scheduled.
