Last will and testament service
If you have definite ideas on how you require your estate to be distributed when you die then you must make a last will and testament. A last will insures that your assets in Thailand are given to those who you have entrusted your estate to upon your death. If you have not made a will your wishes may not necessarily be carried out and inheritance law shall determine what happens to your assets when you die.
Foreigners with assets in Thailand are generally permitted to dispose of their Thai assets according to the law of their home country or according to a will made in another country. The execution of a will or distribution of an estate requires a Thai court procedure and approval in which an executor will be appointed who will wind up the Thai part of the estate. Foreigners may choose to make a last will and testament specifically for assets in Thailand, excluding assets in other countries through a limited jurisdiction clause in the will. Such a Thai will is generally easier to enforce in Thailand and could dispose of your Thai assets separately and differently from assets in other countries.
We can help you make a Thai will with our online or traditional lawyer service. We can also help if a member of your family has died without making a will, if there are difficulties with the administration of an estate in Thailand, or if you have been appointed as an executor and are experiencing problems.

Prenuptial agreements
A prenuptial agreement in Thailand (or ante-nuptial) is a contract entered into by two people before marriage. The content of a prenuptial agreement under Thai law can vary widely, but primarily includes financial arrangements and provisions for personal assets, management of joint assets and the division of common assets should the couple divorce. A prenuptial agreement must be entered into prior to the marriage and registered simultaneously with the marriage in the marriage register at the amphur or khet (Bangkok) where the marriage takes place or the Civil and Commercial Code (sections 1465 to 1493) will describe the couples matrimonial property relationship.

A divorce in Thailand can be quick, simple and hassle free if both parties agree to divorce and agree on the terms of the divorce. In the case the couple agree to divorce and there is no disagreement on the division of properties and matters like child custody, both parties can present themselves at a local amphur in Thailand and apply for a divorce. A divorce in Thailand on mutual consent is quick and easy. Before you turn up at the local amphur it is recommended to have a divorce settlement agreement prepared by a qualified lawyer. A divorce settlement agreement covers all important legal aspects of the divorce and arrangements between the parties.
If the parties cannot agree to a divorce or divorce settlement the parties need to follow a court procedure and must obtain the service of a lawyer. The divorce shall be decided by the court on one of the grounds given in the Civil and Commercial Code and the court will divide the couples joint or marital property according to the law and individual circumstances.

A power of attorney lets you appoint someone you trust to manage important matters on your behalf. A power of attorney is used to hand over control of your affairs to another person. The 'principal' empowers another individual 'attorney-in-fact' to act on his behalf. The attorney in fact takes control of the principal’s business and legal dealings subject to the power of attorney. A power of attorney in Thailand can be used for short-term specific transactions which the principal cannot handle himself, or can continue in the event that the principal becomes incapacitated or mentally ill.
