Safeguard your estate and ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes under Thai law.
Home / Legal Services / Will and Testament
Without a valid Thai will, your estate will be distributed according to Thai intestate law, which may not reflect your wishes. This is particularly important for foreign nationals who own property in Thailand, as Thai law governs the disposition of Thai-registered assets regardless of nationality.
A properly drafted will appoints an executor, specifies your beneficiaries, and removes ambiguity — reducing the risk of family disputes and costly probate delays.
If you die without a will, Thai law divides your estate among the following six classes of heirs, in order of priority:
The entire will must be handwritten and signed by the testator personally. No witnesses are required. While the simplest to make, it is also the most vulnerable to challenge if the handwriting or signature is disputed.
Made at the local district office (Amphur) before a public official, in the presence of at least two witnesses. The official records the testator's wishes and the document is stored at the district office, making it highly resistant to challenge.
Signed by the testator in the presence of at least two witnesses, who also sign the document in each other's presence. The most common form used in professional legal practice. Our firm prepares and witnesses this type of will.
