When you are married without pre-nup your possessions will be owned by both of you. If you pass away your inheritance will be only your part of the possessions (50%). She already owns half. You cannot change this in your will. The only way to prevent this is with a pre-nup. Your half is the inheritance which will be divided between the wife you are married with and your children. In your will you can change some things, but not everything is possible. solution: give away most to your children while you are still alive put a clausule that they cannot touch it till they are 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if this inheritance remains in your home country -then I doubt that Thai law will allow your ex wife to touch it. As is already stated lawyer advice is required. You are incorrect read the Thai Law below. Funds/property bequethed or gifted to either spouse is not considered marital property and therefore does not have to be split in a divorice. See "Sin Suan Tua " http://thailaws.com/law/t_laws/TCCC-book5.pdf Read the above Thai law concerning property ownership. ESpecially 1471 Sin Suan Tua #3 property recived after marriage thru a will or gift shall be considered same as #1 property owned by each spouse before the marriage Any property willed or gifted to either party is not considered as sin som ros and therefore does not come under the 50-50 rule.

If it was an inheritance he leaves why would it matter? You're dead. If it's an inheritance he gets then unless he got married by saying "Marry me baby and we'll be rich!" then just don't tell her. If she divorces you then you have a parachute. If she sticks with you through thick and thin then she gets a nice retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if she divorces you in the UK. And then it's more like 66% of your net worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
