I have a condo which I have bought some years back worth about 6 million. I'm not rich just worked hard and saved. Which I bought with my wife.

 

I am married to my wife and we have registered our marriage and have the marriage certificates and she has my last name in her passport and ID card.

 

Both of our names are on the title deed and I have my own yellow book.

 

We are still relativity young so haven't written any legal will as of yet. But by wife told her family member that she will leave everything to me. I think they didn't really appreciate that.

 

Some family members are opportunists because they don't have much themselves. But might feel its unfair that I own this.

 

That is the background. And my question is, if my wife was to pass away unexpectedly is there any way that they could somehow claim ownership of this property if there is no will? And try to remove me from the title deed?

 

What would normally happen in a case like this where both our names on the title deed. Would her name have to be removed and it will be just my name on the title deed?

Is it a foreign quota condo ? Or have you set up some sort of company so you can part own a non foreign title condo ?

In the absence of a will, property goes to

  • Statutory Heirs:
    The law defines a hierarchy of statutory heirs, with descendants (children) taking priority, followed by parents, siblings, grandparents, and then uncles and aunts. 
     
    Surviving Spouse:
    The surviving spouse is also considered a statutory heir and will usually receive a share of the estate, but the exact portion depends on the existence of other heirs. 
     
     
    A very easy problem to rectify, make a will.

If a condo, why do you have a yellow book, and not a blue book ?  Irrelevant, just curious.

 

A will now would be a good idea.

 

Line of inheritance in TH is spouse first, although ....

Foreigners are recorded in yellow books, not blue books. A blue book would exist for the property but if the OP is a foreigner, wont be in it.

Here's my take:  consult a legitimate Thai attorney.  Get a will drawn up.  It can't possibly cost too much.
