Thank you @nigelforbes

Thank you @Farmerslife but please read my original post. I stated that I wrote the Wills and then signed then in front of witnesses who then signed the Wills. They are not beneficiaries, I was aware of that. Without going into too much detail I think I made very good clear Wills, including my gf's ID, her registered address in her village where she owns a house etc. etc. These Wills where written and signed by me and 2 witnesses almost 2 years ago. The UK Will I am happy with. The Thai Will is in English language only.

I agree not many people in the UK would be able to read Thai. My thoughts are that if this Thai male in the UK dies then his English girlfriend should be able to take his Will to be officially translated into English and notarised then that official translation should be accepted by the UK court. I think it would be unfair to the Thai male living in the UK who cannot read any English to sign an English written Will that he does not understand. I really am missing something?

Thank you @Farmerslife I will make more enquiries. I still do not understand, it is my Will and I need to fully understand it. If I die my girlfriend knows where to find the Thai Will written in English. She could then go to a lawyer and have it legally translated and notarised if necessary. You have confirmed what I have previously read.

Hi,I am from the UK. Can a Last Will & Testament for all my assets that I have in Thailand be written in English only with no Thai language copy?This has been on my mind for a while as I have read a few times that it needs a copy in Thai language as well as English but to me that does not make any sense. I cannot read Thai, how can I possibly sign something that I do not understand? After I die then my Will can be translated if required. Any help much appreciated.A little explanation. My Thai girlfriend and myself have been living together in Thailand for the past 5 years.During the Covid lockdown nearly 2 years ago I researched on the internet then wrote 2 Wills myself, one for all my Thai assets and another separate Will for all my UK assets.I have no children and I have never been married, no dependents, my parents have die, so basically no family. My Thai girlfriends children are grow up. My assets in both countries are very simply described. I am confident that I wrote very clear Wills in English language, in both stating my girlfriend as executor and also leaving everything to her. I signed both Wills in the presence of witnesses who then signed.Thank youKeith
