Last Will & Testament
จัดทำพินัยกรรม · § Estate
Quick Answer
Full will drafting with 2 witnesses and Notary Public — THB 8,000–25,000 covering Thai and overseas assets, with pre-appointed executor.
Timeline: Intake → draft 3 days · 2 review rounds · signing with witnesses 1 day · optional Amphur registration +1 day
Official fee: Ordinary form free · Public document form THB 20/page
Legal Basis
Civil & Commercial Code s.1646–1710 — five will forms: ordinary, holograph, public, secret document, and oral. Foreigners may make Thai wills under their own national law.
Who Needs This
Anyone with Thai assets (land, condo, accounts, shares) — especially foreigners married to Thais with children.
Required Documents
- Testator's ID/passport
- Asset inventory with valuations (land, condo, accounts, insurance)
- Heirs' names and relationships
- Nominated executor and guardian for minors
- Marriage certificate (to identify marital property)
Common Pitfalls
- Handwritten will not entirely in testator's own hand = void
- A witness who is also a beneficiary loses that gift
- Failing to revoke an old will may leave both operative
Typical Use-cases
- Foreign condo owners bequeathing to Thai spouse
- Business owners transferring company shares
- Parents of minor children
- Same-sex partners without legal marriage
FAQ
- Can one Thai will cover overseas assets?
- In principle yes, but we recommend separate wills per jurisdiction to avoid cross-border probate friction.
- Can I change my will?
- Anytime — draft a new one stating it revokes previous versions.
- Must I register at Amphur?
- No — an ordinary will is valid on signing with 2 witnesses; Amphur registration is optional and helps deter challenges.
