Thailand Last Will & Testament
Bilingual will covering your Thai-situated assets — condo, bank, vehicles, company shares. Avoids years in Thai probate.
Quick Answer
Foreigners with Thai property should have a separate Thai will covering only their Thai-situated assets, with a mirror clause pointing to their home-country will for overseas property. We draft, witness, and file with the district office when required. From THB 12,500.

FAQ
- Do I need a Thai will if I own property in Thailand?
- Strongly recommended. Without a Thai will, your Thai-situated assets (condo, bank account, vehicles, company shares) will be distributed under Thai intestacy rules, and your family will need to go through Thai probate court — which can take 1–3 years.
- Which will format is valid in Thailand?
- Section 1656–1672 CCC recognizes 5 formats: (1) ordinary written & witnessed by 2, (2) holographic (fully handwritten), (3) public document at Amphur, (4) secret document at Amphur, (5) oral will (emergency only). We recommend format 1 or 3 for foreigners.
- Will my home-country will cover Thai assets?
- Only if properly probated in Thailand AND legalized/apostilled + translated + accepted by Thai court. Much simpler to have a separate Thai will covering only your Thai assets, with a mirror clause referring to your home-country will for overseas property.
- Cost?
- Bilingual Thai + English will (witnessed): THB 12,500. Public document at Amphur: THB 18,500. Complex trust-style arrangement or executor coordination: THB 35,000+.
