Wills and Execution Times

[JayBird]

Hopefully this is the right forum.

 

I am planning to create a will where I wish to leave bank accounts and condos to my Thai GF.  And I had a few questions:

 

(Provided the will is simple, and lists the bank accounts and property names and everything goes to her only)

 

1) Can she continue to live in the Condo while waiting for the will to be settled?

2) How does she handle paying the utility bills (which would be in my name)

3) How long until the deeds/bank accounts would be transferred to her?

4) Would there be any impact on accessing a Joint bank account?

 

 

Thank you.

Yes, who would kick her out ?

2) How does she handle paying the utility bills (which would be in my name)

She takes the bills down to 7-11 and pays them, no one asks who pays, just that they pay

3) How long until the deeds/bank accounts would be transferred to her?s

Check with a lawyer, depends upon which province and how backed up the probate court is (  * if "the deeds" are in a farang name she has one year to sell to a farang or it reverts back to the Thai quota )

4) Would there be any impact on accessing a Joint bank account?

No, that's why people have joint bank accounts, so either party can access the funds.  Eventually your name would be taken off the account
