But what happens to these assets when you pass away? If you die without a Will in Thailand, the law decides who gets your things. This process can be long, costly, and stressful.<\/p>\n<p>A Thai Will avoids all of this. It ensures your wishes are followed, reduces conflict, and helps your heirs avoid delays in probate court. Whether you want to leave a condo in View Talay to your partner, savings in a Thai bank account to your children, or personal belongings to a friend, a Will ensures it\u2019s done properly.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"whats-included-in-our-service\">What\u2019s Included in Our Service<\/h2>\n<p>When you draft a Will with ThaiLawOnline, we make sure it complies with Section 1655 of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code. Our service offers bilingual drafting in English and Thai. We list all your Thai assets, like condos, cars, and bank accounts. We also help with appointing an executor and guiding witnesses. Notarization or video documentation is available if you want it. We help clients with foreign assets align their Thai Will with their home country&#8217;s estate plan. This avoids conflicts between documents.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-we-help-in-pattaya\">Who We Help in Pattaya<\/h2>\n<p>Our clients in Pattaya are diverse. They include retirees with long-term visas. We also have digital nomads who own assets in Thailand. Additionally, we serve expats who are married to Thai citizens. Whether you live in Central Pattaya or up in Huay Yai, we provide fast and accurate support without the need to visit our office. If you already have a Will from your home country, we can review and adjust it to comply with Thai law. If you\u2019re just getting started, we\u2019ll explain every step in clear, simple language.<\/p>\n<p>You can also learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/last-will-in-thailand\/\">Wills in Thailand here<\/a> if you&#8217;re exploring options.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"real-cases-weve-helped\">Real Cases We\u2019ve Helped<\/h2>\n<p>John, a retired British man living in East Pattaya, wanted to leave his condo to his Thai wife. Without a Will, the property might have gone to his siblings in the UK. Emma and Lars are a Swedish couple. They own a guesthouse in Jomtien. They made matching Wills to divide their business and personal assets. Marc, a remote worker with crypto assets and Thai accounts, needed a Will that included digital asset instructions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dying-without-a-will-in-thailand\">Dying Without a Will in Thailand<\/h2>\n<p>If you pass away without a Will, your assets are divided based on the Thai legal hierarchy. Your foreign heirs may face difficulty accessing your bank accounts or transferring property. The process often involves court approval, certified translations, and legalized documents from your home country. With a Will in place, these issues are avoided or significantly reduced.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"our-process\">Our Process<\/h2>\n<p>Start by contacting us via email, Line, or phone. We\u2019ll send a short intake form to collect the right information. Once we have the details, we draft your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/last-will-in-thailand\/\">Will in both English and Thai<\/a>. You review it, and we make any changes you request. When ready, we send you signing instructions with witness guidance. You can also request notarization or certified copies. Everything can be done online, with no need to travel or deal with complicated paperwork.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pricing-table\">Pricing Table<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Service<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<th>Price (THB)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Thai Will (Bilingual)<\/td>\n<td>Custom English-Thai Will<\/td>\n<td>3,900<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Notarized Will<\/td>\n<td>Includes notarization and formatting<\/td>\n<td>+ 950 baht.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Certified Copies<\/td>\n<td>Optional for embassies, banks<\/td>\n<td>500\/copy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>We focus on affordable, professional service that meets real needs.

This helps avoid legal issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746531067427\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Do I need to register my Will?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>No. Registration is optional. A Will you sign in front of two witnesses is valid under Civil and Commercial Code Section 1656 without ever going near a government office, and that is the Will we draft for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you do want the district office route instead, it changed. The Ministerial Regulation on the Making of Wills B.E. 2569 has been in force since <strong>24 March 2026<\/strong> and replaced the 1960 rules. You can now use any amphur or khet office, including any of the Pattaya and Banglamung offices, rather than only the one holding your house registration. The fee is <strong>250 baht<\/strong>, up from 50, and a certified copy is <strong>50 baht<\/strong>, up from 10. Your two witnesses must be present and sign in front of the officer, who must also be satisfied you understand what you are signing. The office keeps a certified duplicate and you keep the original. It is a change of procedure only, so it does not affect who inherits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746531077945\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Can I leave assets to a Thai partner if we\u2019re not married?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>Yes, but you must clearly name that person in your Will.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746531092354\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Where should I store the document?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>You can store it at home, with a trusted person, or request that we hold a copy for you.
