Why Chinda Law
What You Gain When You
Work With Us
Estate matters carry real weight. The way a legal practice handles them — its pace, its language, its honesty — makes a genuine difference to how the experience feels and how it concludes.

The Core Advantages
Specialist Focus
We work exclusively in inheritance and estate law. That concentration means deeper knowledge and fewer gaps in our advice.
Plain Language
Legal concepts are explained clearly, without jargon. Every step is described in terms that make sense to the person we are advising.
Written at Every Stage
Summaries, plans, and cost outlines in writing after each key stage. Clients always have a document they can refer to and share with family.
Transparent Pricing
Fixed fees for will and planning work. Phased cost outlines for probate. No surprises on the invoice.
Unhurried Consultations
Appointments are not squeezed. Clients are given the time they need to ask questions and feel settled before decisions are made.
Phuket-Based
Our office and team are here in Phuket. We understand local circumstances, court processes, and the practical context of estates in the area.
Expertise in Inheritance Law
The lawyers at Chinda Law have worked in inheritance and succession matters throughout their careers. That depth matters when a situation is complex — a blended family, a cross-border estate, a will that is being contested.
- Thai Civil and Commercial Code — inheritance provisions
- Foreign-resident estate considerations
- Court-connected probate process, Phuket
What this means for you
When your matter involves an element that is less common — perhaps assets in multiple countries, or a will that needs to be considered alongside Thai law — our team has the background to navigate it carefully rather than referring you elsewhere.
What this means for you
Estate matters carry personal and emotional weight. We adapt the pace and tone of each engagement to match the client's circumstances, without ever losing sight of the legal task at hand.
Service Shaped Around the Person
Not every client arrives at the same point or with the same needs. Someone planning ahead is in a very different position from someone managing an estate after a recent bereavement. We adjust accordingly.
- Pace set by the client, not the schedule
- Sensitivity to family circumstances
- Available for follow-up questions
Pricing That Is Stated Clearly
Will consultations and succession planning carry fixed fees, stated at the start of an engagement. For probate, where the scope can evolve, we provide a phased cost outline at each stage before proceeding.
- ฿4,600 — Will consultation, drafted document included
- ฿10,200 — Succession plan, written documentation
- ฿17,300 — Probate representation, full case management
What this means for you
There are no hidden extras. The fee quoted at the outset is what the service costs. If anything changes the scope, we discuss it and confirm in writing before any additional work is carried out.

Distinctive Features
What Sets Chinda Law Apart
Estate-Only Practice
We do not handle property transactions, criminal matters, or business disputes. Our entire practice is directed at wills, succession, and probate. Clients benefit from the depth that comes with a narrow focus.
Written Plan at Every Stage
After each appointment, clients receive a written summary of what was discussed and what happens next. This is not a standard practice at most legal offices — it is a deliberate part of how we work.
Cross-Border Estate Awareness
Phuket has a substantial community of long-term foreign residents with assets in more than one country. We have handled enough of these situations to understand what questions to ask and what to watch for.
No Pressure — No Urgency
Estate planning done under pressure rarely holds well. We do not push clients toward decisions. We set out the options plainly and allow the family to decide in their own time.
