After 2 weeks in hospital I became aware of somethings. If a canadian dies in Thailand,how does the family back in Canada receive the death certificate? It is necessary for the will and to stop pensions etc. Is the person here responsible to have something in place to notify everyone back home or does the embassy or someone do it.

if you have a partner here they have to inform the embassy and the pension must be stopped.if you dont have a partner surely you must have made a will here so appoint someone to act on your behalf [the lawyer]

If you die at home the police will be called, they will inform the embassy, if you die in hospital they will inform the embassy. In the back of your passport there is a page for details of who to contact in an emergency.

So the embassy will contact family and pension ? My will in Canada is very old and was made when I owned property and such so is no good now. I wiilnot go back for 4 years so will try a holographic will and hope that works .
