And that, same as in UK, can take a long time and cost money. Why not start giving your benefactors some of it now so that when the time comes there will be little left.
I am in the process of making my Thai bank account into a joint one so she can get the money legally as soon as I kick it,and am giving my sons in UK most of my UK savings and investments, with the stipulation that if I need some back, they will give it.
I want to put my Immigration Deposit into an account with a 'hidden' name (my Mrs), so Mr IO cannot see that, but she can get it on my demise. Has anyone done that please?
I have made very simple wills, both Thai and UK, which indicate my wishes as and when the time comes, but if they already have access to the funds, no worries.
