Notarised will-related and cross-border estate documents

Thai law prescribes several statutory forms of will, including the ordinary written will with two witnesses, the entirely handwritten will, and the will made as a public document before a district officer. Notarisation does not change the statutory form and cannot cure a will that fails it; it supports the use of related documents before foreign courts and banks — for example witnessing signatures of the testator and witnesses, or certifying copies of asset records. Where assets sit in several jurisdictions we recommend parallel advice from a succession lawyer.

Frequently asked questions

Can a Notarial Services Attorney appoint an estate administrator?

No. In Thailand an administrator is appointed by court petition. Certification only covers signatures and copies used in the process.

Is a will valid if signed before the attorney?

Validity depends on the statutory form, such as witnesses and method. A signature certificate does not by itself make a will valid.

Assets are in several countries. What is needed?

Each country has its own estate process. Check with a lawyer or authority in each country which Thai documents and form they require.

When is notarised will-related and cross-border estate documents used and what do I receive?

Thai law prescribes several statutory forms of will, including the ordinary written will with two witnesses, the entirely handwritten will, and the will made as a public document before a district officer. You receive: คำรับรองลายมือชื่อผู้ลงนามและพยาน · รับรองสำเนาเอกสารแสดงทรัพย์มรดก

What do fees and timing depend on for notarised will-related and cross-border estate documents?

Both are quoted after document review and depend on the number of documents, signers, language and any onward legalisation. Department of Consular Affairs and embassy queues are not included.

Frequently asked questions

Does Thailand have notaries public?
Thailand uses Notarial Services Attorneys registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand for notarial acts within their permitted scope. Acceptance abroad depends on the recipient. Ask which certifier, wording and any additional authentication it requires; notarial certification is not the same as an Apostille.
What documents can a Notarial Services Attorney certify?
Commonly certified items include signatures on powers of attorney, affidavits and statutory declarations, certified true copies of passports and corporate documents, company resolutions and share transfer forms, sponsorship and consent letters, and the identity of a signatory for foreign banks, universities and courts. The attorney certifies the signing act or copy fidelity — not the truth of the content.
Do I have to sign in person?
Yes. The attorney must see the signatory in person together with the original passport or Thai ID before certifying a signature, which is the core safeguard of the service. Remote or scanned signatures cannot be certified. Mobile appointments at your office, condominium lobby or a nearby café are available if you cannot come to ours.
How much does notarial certification cost and how fast is it?
Attorney notarial certification starts at the current official rate per document, with the final price depending on the number of documents, signatories and whether the appointment is mobile or out of hours. The certification itself is completed during the appointment; only the subsequent MFA and embassy steps add working days.
