I hate these money problems as we get older. It seems like they are ongoing with no real solution.
Even if you make the best of arrangements people have a way of challenging it and causing further problems.

Not sure what you meant by money problems. I am not in Thailand right now. I was there, am working on coming back. Left in 2017. I had an O-A I extended on to a retirement. However, it seems that some of Thailand's issues are that they want to make it difficult to come back due to changing rules all the time. I don't have money problems, I have more than enough monthly and cash. It's now the thought that my son in the USA could have issues getting $20K plus back from the Thai government if I were to drop dead there. I have no intention of buying property, no intention of getting married. For the government to freeze my account and deny my son the right to take my money without a hassle is making me reconsider even going back. Other places have their disadvantages also but for Thailand I see the major disadvantage is a military government. 40 years ago the the president changed in Mexico. He robbed all foreigners bank accounts of all dollars. Nothing you could do. Soldiers picked up the cash in trucks. It took 20 years to straighten it out diplomatically between the US and Mexico. There has always been soldiers on the streets of Mexico. I lived there 10 years, owned a company. Won't go back ever. I enjoyed my time in Thailand and would like to go back but it seems to me that if the government wanted to show some type of acceptance of foreigners retiring in Thailand, they'd create something consistent, easy to comply with, show consistency throughout the various immigration offices, and show some type of consideration for the thousands of retirees that spend thousands of dollars a month to be there. For insurance, one month it's 400K baht, the next it's 1,000,000, the next it's A million dollars, next year a billion, with only a Thai insurance company. LOL...... What if the USA did that to everyone? I guess we wouldn't need a wall.

Just check it out for yourself.
Like most folk I have various assets in Thailand and Oz...
You really think when I die various people can access my accounts even if I previously gave them pins etc.
Dream on
Well, I guess the only time to keep the accounts fully funded is 2 months before and 3 months after extension renewal and hope you die in the other 7 months. And by the way, your patronizing "Dream on" doesn't get it. I was asking a simple question as to why it would be illegal. I didn't realize the government would freeze a foreigners bank account if he died. Seems kinda chickenshift to me. If I dropped dead today my son would have all my money tomorrow and everyone else on the planet could <deleted> off.

I find that odd....the OP makes it sound like 2 separate sole accounts (hers and his) are somehow 'linked'. The only way for that would be for her to have 3rd party authority on his account. I may have missed something.
Online banking would also make post-death transfers possible (illegal, I accept).
I'm trying to figure out the "illegal" part. If I give someone access to my account, to log in and to do transfers, why would that be illegal? I'm the one giving permission.

Why do you think 95% of Thai's still wearing a mask while riding a scooter

In 2017 I got a serious sinus, ear, then lung infection from riding my scooter and going through water that splashed up into my face. Took two months to recover. I'll always wear a cover of some type now unless roads are totally dry.
