Humphrey Bear Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 whats the cost of of a will in english and thai Don't know Not a helpful reply, I know, but if you want a lawyer, I can recomment a guy just off Dolphin Roundabout in North Pattaya. Khun Kamnod. "Kamnod Soponvasu" <[email protected]> Good English and will lead you by the hand through all the legal hurdles. Keep your capital out of Thailand if you can. It's easy to bring it in, devil's own job to get it out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I paid 9,000 baht plus 7% VAT. When you die and heir(s) have to get a Certificate of Inheritance from the Court I believe that can cost up to 50,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Heavily adverstised Key Visa charges something like 15K baht. Don't know if it is worth it, but that gives us some kind of expected range, which I do think is between 5 and 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learningcurve Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 For a Thai Will go to your local city hall, last year Banglamung City Hall was charging 4500 baht to prepare a legal Thai Will, it will obviously be written in Thai and you will need to pay to have it translated yourself, if you do not believe what your wife/gf tells you it says! For A UK Will, do a web search for an example and then write one out yourself, as long as it is witnessed/signed/dated it will be legal and binding.

Jingthing Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 If you have large assets, I would think it might be worth it to not go so cheap on this expense, assuming spending more gets you more competence, which would be nice if it was always true.

Chopper Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Tammi, I went through this process last year. I was the Administrator/Executor for my friends Will in Thailand and the Lawyers fee including in my case getting a Power of Attorney at the court to obtain Grant of Probate cost me including all fees in relation to the other work by the Lawyer such visiting the Commerce Office, Land Office, to transfer 'Title', banks, changing car/bike registrations etc cost the deceased's estate ฿ 50,000. For those that do not have Wills I would thoroughly recommend that you get one. My friend had a different Will lodged in three different countries (all of which were uncontested) and it still took over a year to complete each one. Be prepared for lots and lots of paperwork!

rocky123 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I had a will drawn up in UK last year for 25 gbp. They came to my home as well. I have left a letter signed by 2 witnesses with my accountant here stating that my UK will is my last will and testemony. Do you think this will be ok ? I have no thai wife and have a house here and in UK and have lived here for 3 years. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Not to hijack the thread but do any of our esteemed board members here have any clue as to whether or not Thailand has or recognizes "living wills" ? For those of you that do not understand a "living will" allows the hospital to turn off the machine once brain activity has ceased. And NO, this question is not an example of brain activity having ceased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
