My Thai wife sadly died last Aug in London, I bought a house in Hua Hin for our retirment which is due in Sept 2027. I put the house in her name, luckily I had wills made, so I had to go to a Thai court last Nov where I became sole administrator for her will, everything she owed now comes only to me, including the house. The judge gave me a year to sort out the land that the house sits on problem. I have a ufostruct in place and a yellow book for the house.

It seemed to me then that I have two or three options

. Sell the house

. Put the land portion of the house into my Thai Lawyer's Holding Company and start a 30 year lease

. I could sell the land portion to a good Thai friend and start a 30 year lease with her

I decided to put the house on the market but I don't think it's going to sell before the Nov deadline

I'm back in London and the house is being rented by an English couple, they have an agreement until April 2027 but under the circumstanses they are willing to cut short the contract if I get a buyer.

To be honest, I trust my Thai friend a little more than a Thai lawyer, I just need to be sure I've covered as many bases as possible, so I don't get shafted, any advise would be most appriciated

Careful who you trust.

Will you be around in 30 years?

Just make sure you do your due diligence I guess ,nothing you can do more than that
