Thai Will Drafting
Thai Will for Assets in Thailand
This service is for expats who need a legally valid Thai will covering assets located in Thailand.
A Thai will sets out clear instructions for the distribution of your assets under Thai law, ensuring your wishes are formally recognised.
For expats with assets located solely in Thailand and straightforward arrangements, a Thai will can provide appropriate local clarity.
When assets or heirs span multiple countries, structured cross-border succession planning is usually more appropriate.

- You hold assets located solely in Thailand
- You require a properly drafted Thai will for local property or bank accounts
- Your estate does not involve cross-border structuring
