twix38 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I'd like to find out what happens to assets, particularly funds in a bank account when an ex-pat dies without having a Thai Will? I assume there is a process to claim the funds in the deceased bank account for a family member - what proof is required? what is the procedure? Thanks Edited January 8, 2016 by twix38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jip99 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Without a Will the rules of intestacy apply. Google it or try here http://www.samuiforsale.com/knowledge/inheritance-laws-thailand.html Essentially, someone would need to apply to the court to be Administrator of the estate. I have no personal experience of that but would imagine that the main beneficiary would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twix38 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) thanks jip99 so as a dependent (family member) is it just a case of paying a lawyer and waiting? or what needs to be done - procedure and timescales? what would I need to prove I am related? unless surname in Passport is enough?

Can I ask what your relationship is to the deceased. Was there a wife? Are there any children? Are there any parents ? Brothers/Sisters ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
