In most cases, no. Before estate assets can be transferred, sold or released, the executor or administrator must first have legal authority to act on behalf of the estate.
In Thailand, this usually means probate must be completed so the court can recognise the executor named in the will or appoint an administrator where no valid will exists. Until that authority is in place, banks, land offices, registrars and other institutions will generally not allow estate assets to be dealt with.
Once probate has been completed, the next stage is to identify, secure and then recover or transfer the relevant assets in line with the executor’s legal authority and any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
If you want, I can also draft a slightly shorter version for the accordion format.
