Don' you also have to nominate someone as an executor?

If your house is burnt out of different reasons it makes no sense to keep it there.

Indeed however you have to name an executor who you trust.

That’s it, take away any sort of happiness from the people while the rich thieves live it up with their own private parties. Wishes to Insert appropriate four letter word. 

I don't think that you need alcohol to be happy,

So restrictions are not to Bad. As Thaiwrath stated those should be implemented all year round. I'm sure it would help to reduce the daily death rate of 50 on the roads.☺️????

I never said I heard from a friend of a friend, that's you being incapable of reading and comprehending plain english.

 

I said 2 of MY friends wives missed out on their inheritance because they did not have a Thai format last will and testament in their native language and translated to Thai, and duly witnessed. Their living relatives in their home country inherited their estates. Those are FACTS not HEARSAY.

 

You can go on believing you're correct, but it will be your wife that suffers and gets nothing after you have passed if you only have the worthless piece of paper you're calling a will.

.......and you were allowed to read the will? Wow, really good friends indeed ????

OK if you want to continue to believe that your right that's your prerogative. After all you won't be around to see the the disappointment your wife encounters when your worthless piece of paper is not accepted by the authorities.

You heard this from your friend, didn't you?

you really aren't capable of accepting facts as presented. has nothing to do with a friend of a friend. So perhaps you need to go and do some proper research, and then come back and apologize when you ascertain that you are wrong.

You are not presenting any facts. Just what you heard from a friend of a friend.????

your stupidity is beyond fixing. Nothing to do with a friend of a friend. It's what is required if you want your Thai wife to inherit your Thai estate trouble free.

Ouch now getting angry and offending? 

A friend of a friend told me that happens often to people if they realise to be on the wrong path having made mistakes ????

I do have experience in this, and if you have done as you say then you are creating one hell of a lot of trouble for the beneficiaries of your Thai estate. Because you are a foreigner, whether you are married to a Thai or not, the Thai inheritance rules do not automatically apply. Once your embassy is notified of your passing, if there is no properly certified Thai will, the embassy will seek out any living relatives in your home country and THEY will receive your estate even if you don't want them to.

 

I talk from experience with this as 2 of my farang friends did not have a will in the Thai format or translated to Thai, just written in the same format as their home country. In the end their wives received nothing. The entire estate was divied equally amongst the living relatives back in their home countries.

 

Therefore it is you that has no knowledge in this case, just an assumption as to what you believe is correct. Their have been numerous threads on this forum on this very topic, and they all stress the point for a properly completed Thai will that is translated to Thai.

Again and again.......

A friend told me...55555.

Lad, do want you want but sometimes it's good to shut up.

Your parents never told you ????????????????

you let a sealed envelope be registered. - not absolutely necessary. You can keep under lock and key at your won premises if you wish, or somewhere else that you consider safe.

 

No Thai Format. No Translation! - WRONG on both counts. A will for your Thai estate MUST be written in your native language AND translated to Thai, AND it MUST follow the Thai will format. Most Thai authorities will not accept a will written in your native language only and not following the Thai format.

 

Have had the widows of a few farang friends find this out the hard way.

Yeah, there is always a friend of a friend of a friend in those stories????.

I can only speak for that what I did with my wife together as our last will.

If you prefer to listen to those om friends it's Up to you.

A friend of a friend told me "you can't fix stupidity"

Have a good day.????

Unfortunately you do need a template. The Thai format needs to be followed. I originally wrote mine the same as I did my home country will and it was rejected when it was sent for translation. Subsequent enquiries determined that the will must follow the Thai format.

BS

No, I'm not. I did this procedure already.

It's obvious that you don't have any knowledge.........in this case ????

Well, you made a mistake of course. 

As I stated earlier you let a sealed envelope be registered. 

Don't show what you wrote to anyone.

No Thai Format. No Translation!☺️

What's a lawyer got to do with anything? You and the TWO witnesses are all that is required.

Not even 2 witnesses. As I stated in my earlier post, your signiture will be veryfied in City Hall.????

You don't need any template at all.

Write as you want, put it in an envelope and mention who shall get this envelope. And inform them, that they are entitled to reveive this envelope.

Go to City Hall and let the envelope be registered.

Easy and legal way in Thailand.

Don't listen to any lawyer and adviser as there are many.☺️

So where, in that description, is the "200 years before Russia" you mentioned in your previous statement?

If you read carefully..........Middle Ages. It does not mean YOUR middle age ????

Hmmm... wondering what you define as "Ukraine" or "Russia" as both regions have human history dating back tens of thousands of years.

Ukraine as a state founded in 1917. Then forced to be a member of USSR in 1922.

In Middle Ages is was a Kingdom.

Obviously that is one of the first things to crash entirely on what the OP mentions. 

If you buy and hold MSCI world ETFs you are on the safe side. However you have to keep them a longer time (5-10y).

Over all I gained 6% the last 8,5 years.

Rooster, 

I would have expected to hear your own opinion about the diminishing feeling of happiness in Thailand. I admit you started to do so, but lost the thread.

However you repeated what we read already during the week.....in a very humorous way. I liked it and enjoyed it.

Not necessarily correct.

 

I paid NI contributions for 44 years and my state pension is £399 every 4 weeks.

 

The pension that you get today takes into account of how much NI contributions you paid in and the date when you retire. 

 

I paid in for 44 years and I retired in 2009 so my pension is frozen at the 2009 rate anyone who retires before 5th April will get less than someone who retires on 10th April as that is in the new tax year.

Sure, but depends on your salary. I suppose you paid to NI only the Minimum.

Read a lot of Russian history,  huh?

 

 

???? The History is, that "Ukraine' exists at least 200 years before "Russia". So there is definetely not any reason to free Ukraine. It's just Putin's History Falsification.????
