Anyone use a POD (pay on death) form with their Thai bank?

The police would know and I suspect they would act to have accounts locked. 

How would the police know, by checking every bank in Thailand? I very much doubt if police check every deceased persons account to see whether it's a joint account and freeze it if it is. Makes no sense.

Well immigration ( a division of the police) can supply that information for those on say retirement extensions. They can also go through the belongings. I had a  pal die in hospital and the police were round 'securing his belongings' in short order.

I can confirm trying to get money from a deceased bank account in Thailand is an absolute nightmare even if like me you are named in the Thai will as the executer of the deceased estate lawyers have to be used along with the court’s approval which becomes expensive 

Can you give an idea of exactly how expensive?
