Why Krabi Legal
What We Offer That Others Do Not
Inheritance matters in Thailand call for more than a competent filing. They call for counsel who understands the local courts, the family dynamics, and the time such matters require.

Six Reasons Clients Choose Us
Senior Advocate from Day One
Your matter is not assigned to a trainee or junior assistant. The senior advocate you speak with in the first consultation is the one who leads your case through to conclusion.
Fees Agreed Before Work Begins
Each service has a fixed price. You know the full cost at the outset. There are no hourly billing surprises, no hidden disbursements, and no charges for routine correspondence.
Thai and English Throughout
We advise and document in both languages. Court filings in Thai, client correspondence in English — or vice versa. No external translators needed, no delays, no lost meaning.
Local Court Relationships
Our office is steps from Krabi Provincial Court. We know the registry, the filing timelines, and the expectations of local judges — an advantage that a Bangkok firm working remotely cannot replicate.
Written Updates at Each Stage
After every significant step — a court date, a filing, a registry response — you receive a written summary. You are never left wondering where your matter stands.
Respectful of Your Situation
Estate and inheritance matters often arise after a bereavement or during a period of family difficulty. We approach each engagement with care for the person, not only the paperwork.
Professional Expertise in Thai Inheritance Law
Our practice is focused. We do not attempt to cover every area of law — we concentrate on estate and inheritance work, which means our knowledge of Books V and VI of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code is thorough and current.
- Over 15 years of probate court experience in Krabi
- Handling estates with Thai and foreign nationals as heirs
- Familiar with condominium, land, and mixed-asset estates
- Thai Bar Association registered advocates
A note on focused practice
A legal firm that handles dozens of different practice areas is, by necessity, spread thin across all of them. We chose to concentrate, and that choice is reflected in the depth of understanding we bring to each inheritance matter.
Client-first approach
We keep our caseload deliberately manageable so that each client receives attentive, personal service. You will always know who to call, and that person will always know your file.
Service Built Around the Client
We work at your pace. If you need time to gather documents, or if circumstances are difficult, we accommodate that without pressure. Queries are answered within one working day.
- Single point of contact for all communication
- Response to queries within one business day
- Consultations available in person, by phone, or video
Transparent Value at Every Level
Our three service tiers — Will Review, Probate Filing Package, and Full Inheritance Mandate — are priced clearly and cover a defined scope. Clients who need a review only pay for a review.
- Will Review & Update Consultation from ฿1,800
- Probate Filing Package from ฿3,800
- Full Inheritance Mandate from ฿10,600
- No hidden extras; no billing by the hour
Scope flexibility
If during a Will Review we discover that a full update is warranted, we present the options and the cost before proceeding. Nothing is added to the engagement without your agreement.

What Sets Us Apart
Our Distinct Qualities
Probate-Only Practice
Our firm does not dabble in property conveyancing, divorce proceedings, or commercial disputes. Estate and inheritance law is all we do — and that focus shows in the quality and consistency of our work.
Written Advisory After Every Review
Even for a Will Review consultation, you leave with a written note summarising our findings and, where relevant, a clear outline of options. You have something tangible to refer to, share with family, or take to another adviser.
Experience with Cross-Border Estates
Many estates in the Krabi area involve assets in multiple countries, heirs living abroad, and wills written under different legal systems. We have handled these situations regularly and understand what Thai courts require in each scenario.
Realistic Timelines from the Outset
We do not offer optimistic estimates. We give you a realistic picture of how long probate is likely to take, what steps are involved, and where delays commonly occur — so you can plan accordingly.
