Do I Need A Thai Will ?

[english_farang_lady]

I already have a UK Will but now have Thai property, do I need to have a Thai Will also ?

If so, can anyone suggest an English speaking lawyer in Pattaya who can execute the Will if required?

Thanks to all !

Do you own the property outright?

I would certainly make out a Thai Will as most probably it will end up in Thai hands if the worst comes to the worst. "TIT"

Yes. . . even if you have a will in the UK you must have a will in Thailand to deal with property here. I used Public Law & Accounting Office - Khun Narongrit at 06-387-6860.

Yes, you should have one, it will cost about Bt6,000 to Bt8,000.

This will get you the original plus an English translation.

Wills made abroad are legally enforceable in Thailand. However you need to have a Thai speaking Executor to present in Court, and official translations of the Will.
