Thai Last Will and Testament Question

Featured Replies

@khunPer Thanks for posting the above, I have read all the pages you posted, yes makes sense now.

 

The wife is going to give the Amphur office where our marriage is registered a call to ask if they are okay about doing: "A Civil Documented WILL" ...I'll report back the results.

    There is no requirement for the will to be registered and stored at the local district office, it can be kept anywhere.

  • The will being inside a sealed envelope, registered and stored at the Tessaban.

    In the situation of a multiple page will, each page should be signed by the testator. The final page has the signatures of witnesses who have seen the testator sign each page. Any amendments are

any will can be invalidated by newer will, the only way to make it final after making sure it has been correctly drawn is to die 

True enough but what if you are reincarnated?  Just making sure I'm covering all the bases. 😉

Good Idea my wife went and got the info needed, my Amphur 2 witnesses both must speak Thai and English, can take up to 2hrs, go in the afternoon, less crowded, and given Phone numbers to make an appointment.

Forgot all about this thread .....


You do not need to register the Will at any Amphur if you do not wish. If the Will is written correctly, it is perfectly sufficient to give it to your executor (who can be the beneficiary) and keep a copy. What is most important is that it is in Thai & English, and the date is clear. Remember, it can only apply to assets within Thailand. 

Plenty of legal instructions are available online, as well as templates. 
A good guide is to look for templates that are written section by section in English, then in Thai.

Thanks!

So does this mean one registers a sealed envelope or do they review and then it is sealed?

Do you happen to know where the Tessaban for Amphoe Mueang Chiang Mai is located?

Google is your friend.
