I would like my wife to have easy an quick access to at least 1,000,000 immediately after my death.

 

The only scheme I could imagine so far was to open a joint "Mr OR Mrs" fixed term account. Now I know that in  France all accounts  in the name, jointly or not, remain frozen until a "Notaire" has processed the estate. My banker in Geneva told me this wasn't the case in Switzerland.

 

So would anyone know with certainty what the situation would be here, in Thailand.

 

Otherwise how long does it take to liquidate a deceased's estate if a proper, legal last will is available?

 I admire our intentions.

 

There are many older threads on ThaiVisa about this exact subject. The most recent is only a few days ago.

 

Can I suggest you search out the old threads and also mention to you that this is a subject which seems to have 'many answers'.

 

Hope you find a clear and workable solution.
