If you are referring to administering a will that a court has determined requires probate, then a 100K lawyer fee could be a cost; I don't know. I know of one recent case. Farang died while out of the country. Long-time TGF was the sole beneficiary in his Thai will. The only asset was his 800k baht (to meet the visa requirement). She went to two lawyers. Each quoted her a 120,000 baht fee. While she was not on the account, she did have the ATM card and PIN. I don't know what she chose to do, but I have a guess.

She has my bank details. Against law to withdrawal funds upon death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some in marriage and divorce forum and some even banking and finance forum. I suggest that all farang expats living in Thailand have a Will. Here is thread and covers having wife as signatory in bank book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
