bootly66 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 A bit morbid, but what happens to my assets if I kick the bucket? I am legally married but separated and have 18 y/o daughter... I would hope everything would go to her. Is it really necessary to have a will? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss1960 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thai law: if you are married, have no will, everything goes to your wife, separated or not. Make a will for your Thai assets, stating that everything goes to your daughter. It is completely legal in Thailand to not give s satang to your wife. Assets abroad need a separate will that complies with the inheritance laws of that country, your wife might need to get a mandatory minimum share of these assets, if your marriage is registered in that country.

Klonko Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Assets abroad: depends on the country. In Switzerland, real estate is subject to Swiss inheritance law, but liquid assets such as bank accounts can be governed by Thai law. If assets both abroad and in Thailand, I would designate separate will executors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 It's my understanding that in Thailand your children, including overseas children, inherit at the same level as a spouse, even if you no longer live together. Thus, if your only survivors are your wife and child, they would split your estate without a Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bbko Posted January 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2022 Why not avoid any possibility of confusion and just get a will made? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
