Inheritance Law · Krabi, Thailand
When questions arise around a will, an estate, or a probate filing in Thailand, our senior advocate walks with you through each stage — clearly, steadily, and at your pace.
What We Offer
A considered review of your existing will — whether it still reflects your wishes, whether all property is addressed, and whether named executors remain available. Concludes with a written advisory note and, where you choose, a plan for any updating.
Complete preparation of the filing package for probate before the Thai court — petition, supporting affidavits, certified document copies, and certified translations where required. Reviewed by senior counsel before delivery.
Multi-stage representation across will validation, probate, estate administration, and any contested matters. Led by a single senior advocate from intake through final distribution, with clear communication throughout.
Why Krabi Legal
Every matter is handled by a qualified senior advocate — not delegated to junior staff.
We work fluently across both languages, making complex Thai legal procedures clear for international clients.
Our office on Maharaj Road is where southern Thai courts operate — we know the local registry, judges, and process timelines.
You receive written updates at each stage — no chasing, no silence, no legal jargon without explanation.
Fees are set clearly before any work begins — no billing surprises or ambiguous hourly accumulations.
Inheritance is a personal matter. We approach every engagement with discretion and sensitivity to your circumstances.
Many clients come to us feeling uncertain about what Thai inheritance law requires of them. A short conversation with our counsel is often enough to bring clarity — with no pressure to proceed further.
Common Questions
Thai law has its own rules regarding wills and succession for property located within Thailand. A foreign will may be recognised in some circumstances, but Thai courts will often require a probate process here regardless. We review each situation individually to advise on the most appropriate path.
For straightforward, uncontested estates, probate in Krabi typically moves through the court in three to six months from the date of filing. More complex estates or contested matters take longer. We provide a realistic timeline assessment at the outset of any engagement.
Foreign nationals face restrictions on holding certain types of land title in Thailand. However, condominiums and structures may be inherited under specific conditions. The situation depends on the type of title, the nature of the estate, and the heir's residency status. We assess these questions as part of our Will Review or Full Inheritance Mandate service.
Thai inheritance law sets out a statutory order of heirs — spouses, children, parents, siblings, and so on. When no will exists, assets pass according to this hierarchy. The court appoints an administrator to manage the estate. We assist families navigating this process, including where disputes between heirs arise.
It helps to bring any existing will, the deceased's death certificate (if probate is the matter), property title documents, and your own identification. If documents are not yet available, an initial conversation is still worthwhile — we can clarify what will be needed before proceeding.
Our service packages carry fixed fees stated clearly before work begins. Where a matter develops in an unexpected direction — for example, if a contested dispute arises mid-process — we discuss any adjustment with you transparently and seek your agreement before continuing.
