Sorry - My Thai wife sadly died last August

Hi Guys, I could do with some advise please. My Thai wife sadly last August, as part of our retirement plan I bought a house in Hua Hin in her name. I had wills produced for both of us. I needed to go to a Thai Court in Nov and was granted administrator rights to her will. I can own the house but not the land it sits on. My Thai lawyer has suggested that I put the land section into her holding company, this will cost 40,000 TB to go in and If I want to sell anytime in the future another 40,000 to come out. I would be most grateful for any thoughts for this proposal. The court has given me a year to sort this out, it looks like I have two choices - Sell or Land in her holding company

The government departments are all linked, if they want to check they will know if you are outside the UK - Passport control signs you out of the UK and then no record of re-entry

Thanks Guys, My wife has been living, working and paying NI in the UK for the last 18 years, she is still on a Temporary Leave to Remain Visa, as she can't pass the Life in the UK test. Do you think she is entitled to some sort of UK State Pension ?

Hi Guys, I have a Thai wife and I'm from the UK. Could anyone tell me, if I die before her, does she get any part of my UK State pension, if so for how long. Is there any other benefits she is entitled to if I die first ? Many thanks

Thanks for you advice guys

Hi All, I'm looking to buy a motorbike, I'm currently in the UK married to a Thai girl but wanting to buy a motorbike now to be ready for me when arrive in Thailand in Sept. I'll be entering on a non immigrate B visa and will be in Thailand for 4 months. The seller is wanting the money now. Can I buy the bike in my name or do I need to put the bike into my wife's name ?

Hi Brian, it's certainly an interesting topic, what do you think the outcome will be for company owners who set up the company with Thai nominees simply to buy a house ?

Does anyone have an idea of what will happen to the guys who bought these companies and then went on to buy houses in these company names ? Will they loose their houses?
