Somkid Kaewmala
Chiang Mai
My father passed away earlier this year and we had no idea where to start with his estate. Khun Pimchanok walked us through every step without ever making us feel rushed. We knew exactly what was happening at each stage. The fee was clearly stated from the beginning and there was nothing unexpected.
Estate Administration · May 2025
Natthanee Promporn
Lamphun
I came in wanting to prepare a will and was not sure how it all worked. The consultation was thorough and I left understanding clearly what I needed to do. Straightforward, patient, and very professional. I would have appreciated a slightly faster turnaround on the written notes, but overall a genuinely helpful experience.
Planning Consultation · June 2025
Waraporn Suwan
Chiang Mai, Bang Khlan
Our family had a disagreement over an inheritance and I was anxious about how to proceed. Thayat Legal handled the situation with real care. They kept me informed throughout and made sure I understood each decision. The matter was resolved in about six weeks. I appreciated that no one made me feel like I was being pushed in any direction.

James Kensington
British expat, Chiang Mai
As an expat I was not sure how to handle estate planning in Thailand. Thayat Legal explained the relevant Thai law clearly and helped me prepare a will that covered what I needed. The whole process took about three sessions and everything was explained in plain English throughout. Highly recommended for anyone in a similar position.

Arunee Thongsuk
Mae Rim, Chiang Mai
I needed help administering my late mother's estate and found the process much more manageable with Thayat Legal's support. Nattawut was patient with my questions and kept the paperwork moving. The only thing I might mention is that some steps took a little longer than I expected, but I was always kept informed about why.

Piyawat Lertchai
Hang Dong, Chiang Mai
I had a complicated inheritance situation involving land that was partly in my father's name and partly in a business name. Thayat Legal worked through it methodically and clearly. I never felt out of the loop and the outcome was fair. For a firm handling sensitive legal matters, the manner was exactly right.

Case Studies
How We Have Helped
Three examples of the kind of situations we regularly assist with. All details have been anonymised.
The Situation
Will prepared in unclear circumstances
A family in Chiang Mai was uncertain whether their parent's handwritten will was legally valid under Thai law. There was no legal support in place and the document was only partially complete.
Our Approach
Clarity and documentation
We reviewed the document, explained its standing under the Civil and Commercial Code, and guided the client through preparing a properly executed will that reflected the original wishes.
The Outcome
Valid, clear documentation in place
The family left with a legally sound will and a clear understanding of how to update it if circumstances changed. Process completed across two consultations.
"We did not know what to expect but left feeling much more settled."
The Situation
Estate left without an administrator
Following an unexpected death, a surviving spouse needed to administer an estate that included property and bank accounts, but had no experience of the process and no existing legal support.
Our Approach
Step-by-step administration support
We guided the client through court appointment as administrator, prepared all required documentation, managed correspondence with financial institutions, and kept each stage clearly explained.
The Outcome
Estate fully administered in 9 weeks
All assets were transferred and accounts settled within nine weeks. The client described the process as far less daunting than anticipated.
"They kept everything clear. I always knew what was happening."
The Situation
Inheritance disagreement among siblings
Three siblings had different understandings of how their parent's estate should be divided. There was no clear written direction and relationships were strained.
Our Approach
Careful preparation, clear representation
We worked with one sibling to prepare a clear, documented presentation of their position and interests, guided them through the relevant legal provisions, and supported them throughout the resolution process.
The Outcome
Matter resolved in 7 weeks
A settlement was reached that reflected the legal position clearly. Our client felt their interests had been represented fairly and without unnecessary conflict.
"I felt supported throughout. The outcome was as fair as I could have hoped."
