Inheritance Law · Bangkok, Thailand
Phra Legal helps families and individuals navigate Thai inheritance law — from initial conversations to full estate administration — with plain explanations and no unnecessary pressure.
What We Offer
Each service is shaped around the particular situation of the family or individual we are working with. We take time to understand before we advise.
A calm, unhurried conversation to understand your wishes or the circumstances of an estate. We explain Thai inheritance law in plain terms, outline the steps ahead, and provide a written summary with clear next steps.
We assist executors and families through every stage of probate and estate administration. Documents are prepared carefully, communication with third parties is handled on your behalf, and you receive clear updates throughout.
When a matter is contested, we offer considered representation — from initial assessment through negotiation and, where necessary, advocacy. Our approach is sensitive to family relationships and focused on preserving dignity alongside reaching fair outcomes.

Common Questions
These answers are general in nature. Your situation may differ; a consultation will give you accurate information specific to your circumstances.
Without a valid will, Thai law distributes the estate according to the Civil and Commercial Code. Statutory heirs — which include spouses, children, parents, and siblings — inherit in a defined order. The process still requires probate and court appointment of an estate administrator. We can explain which relatives stand in line for a specific estate and what steps the administrator must follow.
Uncontested probate in Thailand commonly takes between three and nine months, depending on the complexity of the estate and current court scheduling. Estates with property, business interests, or multiple beneficiaries tend to take longer. We give you a realistic estimate at the outset and keep you informed as things progress.
Thai land ownership by foreign nationals is subject to significant restrictions under the Land Code. A foreign heir may inherit a right of ownership temporarily but is generally required to sell or transfer the land within a period set by the authorities. Condominium units follow different rules. The specifics depend on the type of property and the nature of the heir's status — this is an area where early legal advice is important.
Our consultation is a structured but unhurried conversation. We listen to the background, ask practical questions about assets and family members, and explain the relevant parts of the law. At the end we produce a brief written note summarising what was discussed and what steps are recommended. There is no pressure to engage us for further work; the aim is that you leave with clarity.
Our published fees are ฿4,600 for an estate and will consultation, ฿9,900 for probate guidance and administration, and ฿17,600 for dispute support. Complex estates with multiple assets or contested circumstances may involve additional work that we will discuss and agree with you before proceeding. There are no unexpected additions without your prior agreement.
Yes. We are bound by professional duties of confidentiality under Thai Bar Association rules. Information you share — whether about family circumstances, assets, or personal history — is held solely for the purpose of your matter. It is not shared with third parties without your express instruction, except where required by law.
