Siriporn T.

Bangkok, Thailand

My mother passed away and I had no idea where to begin. The estate inventory engagement gave me a clear picture of everything she owned and what needed to be done next. The process was unhurried — I didn't feel pushed — and the written inventory has been invaluable for the administration work that followed.

Michael K.

British National, Bangkok Resident

As a foreign resident in Thailand with property and a small company, I needed someone who could explain what my estate would look like under Thai law and what I should put in place. The advice was clear and bilingual — I never had to wonder whether something was being lost in translation. The resulting documentation covered both the property and the company shares properly.

Wanchai P.

Family Business Owner, Chiang Mai

Planning for what happens to our family business was something I had been putting off for years. The conversations with the practice were not just about documents — they helped me think through which of my children was actually in a position to take over, and how to be fair to those who were not involved. The succession arrangement we ended up with reflects that. I'm relieved it's done.

Nathalie V.

French National, Phuket

I wanted to leave part of my estate to a wildlife conservation organisation I care about, and I was not sure what was possible under Thai law. The charitable bequest counsel explained the options clearly — the difference between a specific bequest in a will and establishing a foundation — and we chose the approach that suited my situation. The documentation was thorough and bilingual. A genuinely satisfying process.

Patchara A.

Bangkok, Thailand

My father's estate was not particularly large but it was complicated — property in two provinces, a share in a family company, and no will. The inventory work helped untangle what was there and who had a legitimate interest. The practitioner was patient with our family's questions, even when different members had different views. I would go back for further advice without hesitation.

Robert S.

Australian National, Bangkok

Setting up a foundation was something I had wanted to do for years but always found too complicated to start. The practice made the process straightforward — they explained exactly what was involved in registration, what governance documents were needed, and what ongoing obligations the foundation would have. The fee was transparent and the work was done properly.

Challenge

A family business with no succession plan and declining founder health

A Bangkok manufacturing business employing forty-five people had been built over thirty years by its founder, now in his late sixties with a serious health diagnosis. No succession documents existed, three children had different levels of involvement in the business, and family tensions were beginning to emerge.

Approach

Structured conversations, then structured documents

Over several consultations, the practice worked through the business structure, the family relationships, and the founder's intentions for each child. A succession arrangement was developed that recognised the roles of the two children active in the business while making clear and fair provision for the third. Share transfer mechanisms and a shareholder agreement were prepared alongside the inheritance documents.

Outcome

Documentation in place within ten weeks; family alignment restored

The engagement concluded with a complete set of succession documents. The family reported that the process of working through the arrangements had itself helped to reduce tension — having a structured forum for the conversations made a difference. The founder passed away six months later; the business continued without disruption.

"I didn't expect the legal process to help us talk to each other, but it did."

Challenge

An executor facing an estate with no inventory and multiple asset types

A Thai national was appointed executor for her late husband's estate. He had left no inventory of his assets and had interests in property, a small company, bank deposits, and investment accounts — some of which she was unaware of. She needed to understand what the estate consisted of before she could proceed.

Approach

Systematic identification across all asset categories

The estate inventory engagement began with a thorough conversation about what the client knew and what she suspected. The practice then coordinated identification of the property holdings through land office records, traced company share registrations, and worked with the client to identify financial accounts. Valuers were engaged for the property and company interests.

Outcome

Complete inventory delivered within six weeks

The written inventory revealed two property interests the client had not been aware of and provided a clear valuation basis for the entire estate. The client used the inventory as the foundation for the subsequent administration work with confidence. The process was completed within the agreed fixed fee, with no supplementary charges.

"I finally understood what I was dealing with. That clarity was a real relief."
