    Likely I won't die anytime soon, but we never know, so maybe it's time to write my last will and testament - just to be sure.

     

    What I like to know is which laws from which countries apply. 

    I don't want to make this thread about my personal situation, it's more a general question.

    Let's take the following situation.

     

    Someone born in the EU with citizenship of an EU country lives in Thailand for over a decade.

    He has assets in Thailand like bank account, condominium, vehicles.

    He has assets in his home country.

    He has assets abroad, in an offshore account (not the country of his citizenship).

    He has siblings who live again in other countries.

     

    Which laws from which countries apply if he dies and has no last will and testament?

    Inheritance laws from his home country? 

    Thai laws for his assets in Thailand?

     

    What would be the best way to make sure our inheritance goes to the people we want it to go?

    A last will and testament in Thailand (only)?

    A last will and testament from the home country (only)?

    A last will and testament from Thailand and another one from the home country?

     

    It would be great if we keep this thread about facts. Maybe you researched this, or maybe you know about foreigners in Thailand who died and how it was decided who inherits what.

    Best to have 1 in each country and have separate executors for both wills to deal with your wishes, if you try to split assets to and from other countries l think the only winner would be the lawyers

  2. There joking aren't they " Despite our best efforts" ask everyone to obey traffic rules and ensure vehicles are in good condition before hitting the road, what a joke, speed, reckless driving, don't indicate,  don't use mirrors, run red lights, stop signs, they dont even know the road rules. The 50 question multiple choice to get you drivers licence is a joke nothing to do with driving or the road rules, fix the test fix the requirements to get a licence, it is surprising the number of road deaths is triple what it is and that would be luck more than good management,  and unroadworthy vehicles WOW zero policing and enforcement
