submaniac Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Quick question: I may need to be involved in initiating a probate proceeding in Thailand. In California (and most jurisdictions I am aware of) the probate attorney for the estate is paid via a percentage of the value of the probate estate (pursuant to the probate code) once the estate closes. I wanted to know if Thailand operates in the same manner (lawyer paid % of the estate) or is it an hourly basis with a retainer? Thank you.

CharlieH Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Would have thought this might be better in "ask the lawyer" let me know if you want it moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seastallion Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Are you sure it's on a percentage basis? That sounds very odd to me. On the one hand a valuable estate would see the lawyer get very rich very quickly, while on the other hand, no lawyer would do the work for a modest estate.

submaniac Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Would have thought this might be better in "ask the lawyer" let me know if you want it moved. yes it would be better there, but I have already asked two different probate questions related to the same circumstances and the lawyer has not responded at all. Thought I would get better response here. And yes Seastallion, 100% certain that the fees for administration of the estate paid to the lawyer are based upon a percentage of the value of the estate. see http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-probate-an-overview.html at the third topic heading "probate attorney Fees in California" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
