Frequently asked questions

What does property, wills and estates cover?

Documentation touching rights in property: sale and transfer, leases, wills, and estate administration where heirs are overseas. It currently contains 4 sub-services: Property purchase and transfer document support · Lease agreement preparation and certification · Will drafting and witnessing · Estate administration and executor appointment support.

How do I pick the right sub-service in property, wills and estates?

Start from "where will this be used and who reviews it?" That identifies the receiving authority, and the receiving authority — not the other way round — dictates the format of work required.

Can several services run in parallel?

Often yes, and it usually saves time because the same base documents are reused. Some pairs have a mandatory order, though — certified translation cannot precede a fully certified source document.

Where is property, wills and estates available?

Bangkok, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani and Nong Khai, plus online intake from every province and from overseas.

When is property purchase and transfer document support the right choice?

Review and preparation of documents for a sale and transfer at the Land Office, including powers of attorney and translations for foreign parties. Unlike using a template contract, the title and the official forms are checked before the appointment, which prevents postponements.

When is lease agreement preparation and certification the right choice?

Drafting and review of bilingual residential or commercial leases, with signature certification and lease registration routed where required. Unlike a template, this checks leasing authority and registration thresholds — the two points that most often make a lease unenforceable.

When is will drafting and witnessing the right choice?

Drafting a will in a form Thai law recognises, arranging the required witnesses, and preparing a translation for heirs or authorities abroad. Unlike a template will, the statutory form and the execution formalities — the most common causes of invalidity — are checked.

When is estate administration and executor appointment support the right choice?

Assembly of documents for an executor-appointment petition and for transferring assets to heirs, including foreign records that must be translated and certified before use in Thailand. Unlike an informal family arrangement, most institutions require a court appointment before they will act.
