Can foreigners like me easily get from Thai family court registrar copies of any cases /probate applications in father's name?

Featured Replies

Hi

Thank you for kind responses.

In Europe anyone can mail a  court registrar and they mail back any

court case.

 

Can I as daughter/heir for my deceased father who immigrated to Thailad,

get without hassel the court registrar to mail me any court case/probate

application as I am party/heir/daughter to my father.

 

(I have all supporting family tree, passport etc etc )

 

When I call the court they pretend not to speak English or to call

his wife,,, (I talked with him in English before)...

 

Just want to know my rights.

 

thanks

 

 

Trying to obtain documents you require by using phone or email is a waste of time in Thailand.  I would advise you to secure the service of a lawyer to obtain documents you want and be careful choosing a lawyer.

 

You can read through the Thai laws concerning distribution of an estate.

If your father left a will for his Thailand estate and you are not mentioned then you have no chance receiving any inheritance.

 

So why not call his wife?, she is his next of kin not you, she will have claim to all of his estate in Thailand even without a will, but overseas it would be difficult but not impossible for her to claim it, without a will.
