The court typically requires the Thai death certificate, the deceased’s passport, the applicant’s passport, a marriage certificate or birth certificate to confirm relationships, a family tree, a consent letter from other heirs and any Thai or foreign will. Foreign documents must be translated into Thai and legalised by the Thai embassy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A power of attorney is needed if you wish to appoint a representative.
