Common Questions
What Families Often Ask
What documents should I bring to a first meeting?
A list of your assets, any existing wills or documents, and the names and relationships of those you wish to include is a good start. If you are uncertain, come as you are — we will work through it together.
How long does a will consultation usually take?
Most first consultations run between one and two hours. Simpler estates and straightforward wishes tend toward the shorter end. We allow enough time that nothing feels rushed.
Can foreigners make a will for assets held in Thailand?
Yes. Thai law provides for wills covering assets located in Thailand, including property held through recognised structures. We can advise on the appropriate form for your circumstances.
How long does probate take in Thailand?
Timelines vary depending on the estate's complexity and whether the court is involved. Simple matters may conclude within a few months; more involved estates can take longer. We provide an honest estimate once we understand the circumstances.
What is the difference between estate planning and probate?
Estate planning happens during a person's lifetime to arrange how assets will pass. Probate is the legal process of settling an estate after a person has passed. Both require attention; we can assist with either stage.
Are your fees fixed or based on hours?
For will consultations and succession planning, we offer fixed fees stated at the outset. For probate representation, we provide a phased cost outline so you understand what each stage will involve before proceeding.
