Where in Bangkok can I find a notary to draw up a will?
My Experience Making a Thai Will (Reader's Submission)
Like many of us, I am staying here in Thailand on a Non Immigrant “O” (retired) visa. To meet one of the requirements of extending the period of stay with this visa (and because my monthly income is not sufficient for this) is that I have a Thai bank account with THB 800.000.
Address in Pattaya of a lawyer / notary for drawing up a will in the event of death?
Does anyone know where in Pattaya an address of a lawyer / notary for drawing up a will in the event of death?
My wife and I intend to move to Thailand in a few years. My wife has a large piece of land on which we have built a house. Now the question has arisen how we can ensure that the land and the house are sold and that the financial arrangements are arranged with my children in the Netherlands in the event of our simultaneous death? So execution of a will.
Who knows a reliable lawyer in Bangkok?
I have now reached the age where I have to arrange my affairs when I die. In Thailand I “only” have a bank account at the Krungsri Bank with only the necessary amount (THB 800.000) to obtain the Non Immigrant O visa. The account must therefore only be in my name and I cannot also put it in my partner's name. If I die, I want to leave this amount to my Thai partner, with whom I only married for Buddha (so not for the law).
A will or is a letter of authorization sufficient?
I married my Thai wife, who is still naturalizing, in community of property. She is just under 11 years younger than me, so statistically there is a good chance that I will die before she does.
What should I do when my end of life is approaching?
Is there someone who can tell me exactly what I should do in sequence when my end of life is approaching (I am not sick, but I am old). The information I received from the embassy is “global”, and certainly not detailed. I assume that everything is in it, but who takes the action, how it should be done, to which hospital, etc., that remains in the air.
Disclosure Cost of Will in Pattaya
Regarding my will. I am collecting plenty of information for the preparation of a will or Last Will. Not easy to find a good lawyer who possesses all qualifications, namely a certified translator and Notary Public! Some offices try to win over “customers” with their cheap price for drawing up a Last Will, for example 7.000 THB, but usually the markup is at least very questionable.
My father recently passed away in Thailand. Married to Thai under Thai law, not NL law. He was also still officially living in NL. There is a Dutch will in which the 2 children and grandchildren are heirs.
A Dutch friend of mine passed away this year in Bangkok. He lived with a partner visa in Thailand for more than 10 years. Officially in the Netherlands for the last 3 years due to necessary Dutch treatment in the Anthonie van Leeuwenhoek Hospital. Last 3 months back in Thailand when he was out of treatment.
Marrying a Thai in community of property?
I have a question about marriage with my Thai girlfriend. We have been seeing each other for more than 3 years. She has been to the Netherlands a few times (ordinary visa for 3 months). And I've been there. Also met her parents.
Heritage in Thailand?
In the past year, a few things happened to me, 69 years old and living in Thailand for 10 years, which are separate from each other and yet have something in common.
'A Mother's Will' – a short story by Suwanni Sukhontha
Her son, who died of drugs, is remembered in a collection of stories, including 'a mother's will', as if he were still alive. Touching.
Reader question: My brother's estate and real estate
Last year my brother passed away in the Netherlands. In 2014, he had a will made at a law firm in Jomtien. I now have a death certificate legalized in the Netherlands, through court-sworn translator-embassy Thailand. Does anyone know about the roadmap to convert his real estate and movable property to another name? It would also be nice if someone knows the approximate cost per action?
Reader question: Testament Thailand/Netherlands
I have had a simple will drawn up in the Netherlands, simply put: x% assets/cash to A, x% assets/cash to B, etc. What if I die in Thailand, and have ฿ahtjes in the bank here , and possibly other possessions, such as a condo?
Reader question: Will – legacy
I have decided to make a will to determine my estate. It would be very simple, everything that is in Thailand I would leave to my wife and everything that is in Belgium would belong to my children.
My father passed away unexpectedly in Thailand on 07/07/2018. He stayed there a lot but still officially lived in Belgium. He had 2 minor children with a Thai lady. And built a house over there. Now we receive papers from Thailand from a 'Will' made in 2011.
