I need ideas as to who to go to OR where to ask for a VERY SIMPLE WILL. I was quoted $500 US

There are some crazy replies on here. @xylophone has good advice. Taking funds from bank accounts before probate is easy but not something an intelligent person would do. I have a English written will that is legal but will take a long time to get through probate.

I think ones beloved beneficiary would rather wait a year and definitely get your bequest than find little or no cash available because of underhand/illegal/non standard practices.

VERY SIMPLE WILL. no property, no personal affects...only 2 bank accounts in one major bank and 1 account in a second bank.  I am over 80 and need reasonable directions to leave contents to a friend, same sex, who has helped me and I've known for about 15 years.  Need something simple and easy for him, when I pass.  Thanks for your help!

You can download the form it is in Thai and English both parts to be completed but very easy to follow.

My Thai wife and I had a very good will done by a lawyer in Korat. We have no kids. If one of us dies the other gets all our assets. There is some land and a house which I am not sure if I am not entitled to because I am not Thai but I am not concerned. The will was done in both Thai and English. If both of us die at or around the same time, my wife's niece, who lived with us for a number of years, is the beneficiary. She charged us 8000 Baht for both wills. I was told that if you are a foreigner, the will should be done in both Thai and English.
