The governing framework is&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/book-6-succession\/\/\">Book VI of the Civil and Commercial Code<\/a><\/strong>, which has applied uniformly since 1935. There are two paths:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Testate succession<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 the deceased left a valid will (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1646\/\">Sections 1646<\/a>\u20131694 CCC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intestate succession \u2014 there is no will, so the estate passes to heirs set by law.This follows a fixed order under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1629\/\">Sections 1629<\/a>\u20131631 CCC<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A key point many foreigners miss is that Thai law applies to all assets in Thailand. It does not matter what nationality the owner has. A British citizen who owns a condo in Bangkok must follow Thai inheritance law for that asset. This applies even if they have a will drafted in the UK. This is the principle of&nbsp;<em>lex situs<\/em>&nbsp;(the law of the place where the property is situated).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Takeaway:<\/strong>&nbsp;If you own assets in Thailand, you need a separate Thai will covering those assets. A foreign will can be enforced in Thailand, but it requires extra steps.It must be translated, legalized, and approved by a Thai court.This process often adds 6 to 12 months and can increase probate costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"statutory-heirs\">Who Inherits? The Six Classes of Statutory Heirs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under&nbsp;<strong>Section 1629 of the CCC<\/strong>, Thai law recognises six classes of statutory heirs. Each class inherits only if no member of a prior class survives the deceased. The&nbsp;<strong>surviving spouse<\/strong>&nbsp;has a special status and inherits alongside whichever class applies (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1635\/\">Section 1635<\/a> CCC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Class<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Heirs<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">CCC Section<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Key Rule<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>1<\/strong><\/td><td>Descendants (children, grandchildren)<\/td><td>\u00a71629(1)<\/td><td>Includes adopted and legitimised children; excludes illegitimate children unless acknowledged by the father.

Ceremonial or religious marriages alone confer no inheritance rights. This catches many foreign couples off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"intestate-succession\">What Happens Without a Will (Intestate Succession)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a foreigner dies in Thailand without a valid will, the estate is distributed according to the statutory heir classes above. This creates several problems specific to foreign nationals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your home country&#8217;s rules don&#8217;t apply.<\/strong>&nbsp;Even if your home country would give everything to your spouse, Thai law will distribute your Thai assets according to the CCC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unmarried partners inherit nothing.<\/strong>&nbsp;Thai law does not recognise cohabiting partners or common-law spouses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minor children need a court-appointed guardian.<\/strong>&nbsp;The probate court must appoint a guardian to manage their share, which can take months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If no heirs are found, the estate goes to the Thai government<\/strong>&nbsp;(escheat to the Crown under Section 1753 CCC).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Real example:<\/strong>&nbsp;A British expat passed away in Phuket without a Thai will. His UK will left everything to his Thai partner of 12 years, but they had never legally married in Thailand. Under Thai intestate rules, his condominium and bank accounts went to his parents in England \u2014 not his partner. The probate process took 14 months. A simple Thai will would have prevented this entirely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"making-a-thai-will\">How to Make a Valid Will in Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making a will in Thailand is relatively straightforward under&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1656\/\">Section 1656<\/a> CCC<\/strong>, but the requirements are strict.

Draft it in two languages. A <strong>Public Document Will<\/strong> offers the highest security for large estates but requires more time and formality. As of <strong>24 March 2026<\/strong>, the new <a href=\"#will-regulation-2569\">Ministerial Regulation on Wills B.E. 2569 (2026)<\/a> standardises will procedures and introduces mandatory official forms at district offices (<em>amphur<\/em>) nationwide \u2014 strengthening the Public Document and Secret Will options in particular. See <a href=\"#will-regulation-2569\">the dedicated section below<\/a> for what changed, or <a href=\"https:\/\/ratchakitcha.soc.go.th\/documents\/102677.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">read the official Government Gazette text<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"living-will-vs-last-will\">Living Will vs Last Will \u2014 Two Different Documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are often confused. A <strong>last will<\/strong> decides who receives your assets <em>after<\/em> you die. A <strong>living will<\/strong> is an advance healthcare directive: it records the treatment you would refuse if you were still alive but no longer able to speak for yourself. Living wills in Thailand rest on a different law entirely, Section 12 of the <strong>National Health Act B.E. 2550<\/strong>, and a last will does nothing to cover medical decisions. Most foreigners settling in Thailand need both.

Issued under <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1672\/\">Section 1672<\/a> of the Civil and Commercial Code<\/strong>, it takes effect <strong>60 days after publication \u2014 from 24 March 2026<\/strong>. It expressly repeals the earlier Ministry of Interior rules, including <strong>Ministerial Regulation No. 2 (B.E. 2503 \/ 1960)<\/strong>, making it the first modernisation of district-office will procedures in over six decades.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What it changes \u2014 and what it does not.<\/strong> This is a <em>procedural<\/em> reform, not a rewrite of who inherits. The six classes of statutory heirs, the spouse&#8217;s share, the grounds for disinheritance, and the 100-million-baht tax threshold discussed above all remain governed by Book VI of the CCC. What the regulation standardises is <em>how<\/em> a will or inheritance declaration made through a government office is prepared, witnessed, recorded and stored \u2014 using identical official forms and safeguards in every <em>amphur<\/em> and Bangkok <em>khet<\/em> nationwide.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pk-forms\">Standardised official forms at every district office<\/h3>\n<p>To make the process uniform across the country, the regulation prescribes a single set of standardised forms issued by the <strong>Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA)<\/strong>, used at every district and Bangkok <em>khet<\/em> office. The same templates govern the application to make a public will, the record the officer draws up, the deposit of a secret (sealed) will, and formal declarations of disinheritance or renunciation of inheritance. The exact form designations are fixed by DOPA circular, and each district office supplies the current version.<\/p>\n<p>Three practical changes matter most for anyone making a public (district-office) will from 24 March 2026 onward:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Register anywhere.<\/strong> You are no longer limited to the district where your name appears on the house registration (<em>tabien baan<\/em>). A public will can now be made at any <em>amphur<\/em>, <em>king amphur<\/em>, or Bangkok <em>khet<\/em> office in the country.<\/li><li><strong>You keep the original.<\/strong> The testator keeps the original will, while the district office retains a certified duplicate in its official register. Certified copies may later be requested by the testator, the estate administrator, or a statutory heir.<\/li><li><strong>Updated fees.<\/strong> For the first time in more than 60 years the fees were revised: making a will at the district office is now <strong>250 baht<\/strong> (previously 50 baht), and a certified copy is <strong>50 baht<\/strong> (previously 10 baht).<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>Every will is entered in an official register, assigned a registration number, and cross-referenced \u2014 creating a verifiable chain of custody that is invaluable when the will is later produced in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/probate-in-thailand-estate-administration\/\">probate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which wills this affects.<\/strong> The reform touches only wills and declarations made in front of a district officer \u2014 the public document will (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1658\/\">Section 1658<\/a> CCC), a secret will deposited at the office (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1660\/\">Section 1660<\/a>), an emergency oral will recorded there (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1663\/\">Section 1663<\/a>), and formal declarations of disinheritance or renunciation. An ordinary written will (Section 1656) you sign at home or at a lawyer\u2019s office, or a fully handwritten holographic will (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1657\/\">Section 1657<\/a>), is completely unchanged.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"capacity-checks-2569\">Stricter checks on capacity, identity and free will<\/h3>\n\n<p>District officers are now expressly required to confirm that the testator is <strong>of legal age, of sound mind, and acting voluntarily<\/strong> \u2014 free of coercion or undue influence \u2014 and may demand additional identification, civil-status records, or evidence of assets and beneficiaries. Where an officer has reasonable grounds to doubt capacity or intent, they may <strong>suspend or refuse<\/strong> the process. Witnesses must be independent adults who genuinely understand the proceedings in Thai, and a separate, more protective procedure applies to testators who cannot speak, hear, or otherwise communicate in the usual way.<\/p>\n\n<p>For a common-law reader, this moves Thailand&#8217;s district-office wills much closer to the &#8220;supervised execution&#8221; you would expect from a notary or a solicitor&#8217;s attesting role: the State now actively vouches for the circumstances of signing, which makes a registered will far harder to attack later.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"regulation-2569-foreigners\">What it means for foreigners<\/h3>\n\n<ul><li><strong>Stronger evidence at probate.<\/strong> A Public Document Will carries a government-certified record of capacity, witnessing and signing \u2014 exactly the proof that shortens a Thai probate hearing and defeats &#8220;he wasn&#8217;t of sound mind&#8221; challenges from disappointed relatives.<\/li><li><strong>The forms and reading-aloud are in Thai.<\/strong> Use a <strong>bilingual lawyer or a qualified interpreter<\/strong> so that what the officer records genuinely matches your intentions \u2014 a mismatch is the one risk this system does not solve for you.<\/li><li><strong>Your existing will is still valid.<\/strong> A will validly made before 24 March 2026 does <strong>not<\/strong> become void. For a significant or cross-border estate, though, it is worth reviewing whether re-executing as a Public Document Will would strengthen it \u2014 see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/will-maker\/\">Last Will service<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>No online wills \u2014 yet.<\/strong> The regulation is built around in-person procedures, written and sealed documents, and recorded emergency oral wills.

For a straightforward estate, a well-drafted bilingual <strong>Ordinary Will (Section 1656)<\/strong> remains perfectly valid and is usually faster to arrange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"probate-process\">The Thai Probate Process Step by Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Probate in Thailand is the legal process of validating a will, appointing an estate administrator, and distributing assets. All probate matters are heard by the Thai Civil Court with jurisdiction over the deceased&#8217;s assets or last domicile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-obtain-a-death-certificate\">Step 1: Obtain a Death Certificate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Register the death at the local district office (<em>amphur<\/em>) within 24 hours. For foreigners, you will also need to notify your embassy or consulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-locate-the-will-and-gather-documents\">Step 2: Locate the Will and Gather Documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Collect the original will, death certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable), identification documents, and proof of assets (title deeds, bank statements, company share certificates).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-file-a-probate-petition\">Step 3: File a Probate Petition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A petition must be filed with the Thai Court to appoint an estate administrator. Under Section 1711 CCC, any interested party can file.This includes the executor named in the will, an heir, or a creditor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-4-court-hearing\">Step 4: Court Hearing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The court schedules a hearing (typically 1\u20133 months after filing). The court reviews the will&#8217;s validity, hears any objections, and appoints the estate administrator. A notice is published in a local newspaper to inform potential creditors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-5-estate-administration\">Step 5: Estate Administration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The appointed administrator gathers the person\u2019s assets.They pay the person\u2019s debts and taxes.They then distribute the estate based on the will or state intestate rules. Under&nbsp;<strong>Section 1754 CCC<\/strong>, the administrator must complete this within one year unless the court grants an extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-6-final-accounting-and-discharge\">Step 6: Final Accounting and Discharge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The administrator files a final report with the court. They account for all assets and distributions. They request discharge from their duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"typical-probate-timeline\">Typical Probate Timeline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Stage<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">With Thai Will<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Without Thai Will<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">With Foreign Will Only<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Document gathering<\/td><td>2\u20134 weeks<\/td><td>4\u20138 weeks<\/td><td>8\u201316 weeks (translation + legalisation)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Court petition to hearing<\/td><td>1\u20133 months<\/td><td>2\u20134 months<\/td><td>3\u20136 months<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Asset distribution<\/td><td>2\u20134 months<\/td><td>4\u20138 months<\/td><td>6\u201312 months<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total estimated time<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>3\u20136 months<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>8\u201316 months<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>12\u201324+ months<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Estimated legal cost<\/strong><\/td><td>50,000\u2013150,000 THB<\/td><td>100,000\u2013300,000 THB<\/td><td>200,000\u2013500,000+ THB<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"inheritance-tax\">Inheritance Tax in Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thailand introduced an inheritance tax in 2016 under the&nbsp;<strong>Inheritance Tax Act B.E. 2558<\/strong>. Here is what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-pays-inheritance-tax\">Who Pays Inheritance Tax?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tax is payable by the\u00a0<strong>heir<\/strong>\u00a0(not the estate) when the inherited assets exceed\u00a0<strong>100 million Thai Baht<\/strong>. The tax applies only to the amount above this threshold. Exemptions include spouses (fully), charities, and religious\/educational bodies (Section 3, Inheritance Tax Act). Non-Thai residents are taxed only on Thai assets exceeding 100 million THB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tax-rates\">Tax Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Heir Category<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tax Rate<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Example (150M THB Estate)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Ascendants or descendants (parents, children)<\/td><td>5%<\/td><td>5% \u00d7 50M = 2.5M THB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>All other heirs (siblings, partners, friends)<\/td><td>10%<\/td><td>10% \u00d7 50M = 5M THB<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-exemptions\">Key Exemptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Estates valued at&nbsp;<strong>100 million THB or less<\/strong>&nbsp;are fully exempt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legally registered spouses<\/strong>&nbsp;are fully exempt from inheritance tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inheritance received by&nbsp;<strong>charitable organisations, religious institutions, or educational bodies<\/strong>&nbsp;is exempt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The tax must be filed within&nbsp;<strong>150 days<\/strong>&nbsp;of receiving the assets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical implication:<\/strong>&nbsp;The 100 million THB threshold (approximately USD 2.8 million) means the vast majority of foreign estates in Thailand are not subject to inheritance tax. However, there are separate&nbsp;<strong>transfer fees and taxes<\/strong>&nbsp;when transferring real property \u2014 typically 2% transfer fee, 0.5% stamp duty, and potentially specific business tax, depending on how long the property was held. The reduced 0.01% transfer fee that runs to 30 June 2027 applies only to purchases by individual Thai nationals and does not apply to an inheritance transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gift-tax\">Gift Tax on Lifetime Transfers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inheritance tax is not the only charge on passing wealth to your family. Thailand also taxes <strong>large lifetime gifts<\/strong>, so giving assets away before death is not automatically a way around the rules. Gifts above the statutory thresholds are treated as assessable income of the recipient rather than as inheritance. If you are considering transferring property or substantial sums to a spouse or child during your lifetime, take advice on the gift-tax position first \u2014 the treatment differs depending on your relationship to the recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"foreigners-and-land\">Can Foreigners Inherit Land in Thailand?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most common questions we receive, and the answer involves an important distinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the&nbsp;<strong>Land Code Act B.E. 2497 (1954), Section 86<\/strong>, foreigners are generally&nbsp;<strong>prohibited from owning land<\/strong>&nbsp;in Thailand. However, a foreigner&nbsp;<em>can<\/em>&nbsp;inherit land \u2014 the legal process is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Thai probate court recognises the foreigner as a rightful heir<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The heir must apply to the&nbsp;<strong>Minister of Interior<\/strong>&nbsp;for permission to own the land<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If permission is&nbsp;<strong>denied<\/strong>&nbsp;(which is common), the foreigner has&nbsp;<strong>one year to sell the land<\/strong>&nbsp;and keep the proceeds (Section 93, Land Code)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the foreigner fails to sell within one year, the Director-General of the Land Department may order a forced sale<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Takeaway:<\/strong>\u00a0Foreigners\u00a0<em>can<\/em>\u00a0inherit land in Thailand and receive the monetary value : they just cannot keep ownership long-term. A practical option is to add a sale instruction to your Thai will. You can also structure ownership through a Thai spouse, usufruct, or long-term lease during your lifetime. There is also a limited, \u201cindefinite\u201d ownership right for inherited land. It allows up to 1 rai for residential use.It requires Minister approval under Land Code Section 93.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-foreigners-can-directly-own-and-inherit\">What Foreigners CAN Directly Own and Inherit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Condominiums<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Condominiums: Freehold ownership possible if the building&#8217;s foreign quota is under 49% (Condominium Act Section 19). For inheritance, unqualified foreign heirs must dispose within 1 year; qualified ones (e.g., permanent residents) can retain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bank accounts<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 fully inheritable with a court order<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Company shares<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 including shares in companies that hold land (subject to Foreign Business Act restrictions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vehicles, personal property, and investments<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"estate-planning-strategies\">Estate Planning Strategies for Expats in Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective estate planning for foreigners in Thailand goes beyond simply drafting a will. Consider these strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-maintain-separate-wills-for-separate-jurisdictions\">1. Maintain Separate Wills for Separate Jurisdictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Draft a&nbsp;<strong>Thai will covering Thai assets<\/strong>&nbsp;and a&nbsp;<strong>home-country will covering non-Thai assets<\/strong>. Ensure each will has a clause that limits its scope.This helps prevent the wills from accidentally revoking each other. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1697\/\">Section 1697<\/a> CCC says a later will revokes an earlier one only if they conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-appoint-a-thai-based-executor\">2. Appoint a Thai-Based Executor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A foreign executor who does not live in Thailand faces major practical barriers. They may not be able to appear in court. They may not be able to access Thai banks. They may not be able to communicate with Thai officials. Appointing a Thai lawyer or trusted person as executor avoids these delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-consider-a-usufruct-for-property\">3. Consider a Usufruct for Property<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;<strong>usufruct<\/strong>&nbsp;(Sections 1417\u20131428 CCC) grants the right to use and benefit from land without owning it. A common strategy: the Thai spouse or child owns the land, while the foreign partner holds a usufruct registered on the title deed. This survives changes in ownership but ends upon the usufructuary&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-register-your-marriage-in-thailand\">4. Register Your Marriage in Thailand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are married, ensure the marriage is registered at a Thai&nbsp;<em>amphur<\/em>. Foreign marriages may be recognized, but they need proof. A Thai-registered marriage gives clear legal status for inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-joint-bank-account-considerations\">5. Joint Bank Account Considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A joint bank account in Thailand does not automatically pass to the surviving holder after death. This differs from some Western countries. The deceased&#8217;s share becomes part of the estate. To simplify things, keep a moderate amount in a joint account. Make sure the will names bank assets clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-review-your-will-every-3-5-years\">6. Review Your Will Every 3\u20135 Years<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thai law does not require regular will updates.But life changes can make an old will outdated. New assets, marriage, divorce, or a child\u2019s birth can create unintended results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"common-mistakes\">7 Common Mistakes Foreigners Make with Thai Inheritance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Relying solely on a foreign will<\/strong> \u2014 It can work, but translation, legalization, and validation can add 6\u201318 months. It can also add significant cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not registering their Thai marriage<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 A ceremonial-only marriage gives zero inheritance rights under Thai law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using beneficiaries as will witnesses<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 This makes the will voidable. Witnesses cannot be beneficiaries or their spouses (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/thai-civil-code\/section-1653\/\">Section 1653<\/a> CCC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Failing to address land ownership<\/strong> &#8211; If the instructions are not clear, land inherited by a foreigner can get tied up in bureaucracy.  <br>This can take years to resolve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Appointing a foreign-only executor<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 An executor who cannot appear in Thai court or communicate in Thai creates unnecessary delays and costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assuming joint accounts pass automatically<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Thai law does not recognise &#8220;right of survivorship&#8221; on most joint accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ignoring&nbsp;<em>sin somros<\/em>&nbsp;(marital property) rules<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Under Sections 1474\u20131476 CCC, property acquired during marriage is joint marital property.

Many foreigners in Thailand do not do it. This is true even if they live in Thailand or own assets there. The difference between having a valid Thai will and not having one can mean months of delay. It can also mean costs of hundreds of thousands of baht. Your assets could even go to the wrong people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ThaiLawOnline has helped thousands of foreign nationals with wills, probate, and estate planning across Thailand for 20 years.

If you own anything in Thailand, the practical next step is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/last-will-in-thailand\/\">making a will in Thailand<\/a>: a bilingual, lawyer-drafted Thai will is a fixed 3,900 THB and takes your estate out of the statutory order entirely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">Frequently Asked Questions: Inheritance &amp; Wills in Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-i-really-need-a-separate-thai-will-if-i-already-have-one-from-my-home-country\">Do I really need a separate Thai will if I already have one from my home country?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You are not legally required to have a Thai will, but it is strongly recommended. A foreign will can be enforced in Thailand. But the process needs certified translation, embassy legalization, and court validation. This often adds 6\u201318 months and costs about 200,000\u2013500,000 THB. A Thai will drafted bilingually can be processed in 3 to 6 months at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-a-foreigner-inherit-land-in-thailand\">Can a foreigner inherit land in Thailand?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, a foreigner can be named an heir to land. However, under Section 86 of the Land Code, they cannot hold ownership long-term. After inheriting, they must apply to the Minister of Interior for ownership permission. If denied (which is usual), they have one year to sell the land and retain the proceeds. They can inherit the full monetary value \u2014 just not keep the land itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-happens-if-a-foreigner-dies-in-thailand-without-a-will\">What happens if a foreigner dies in Thailand without a will?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thai intestate succession rules apply to all Thai-based assets. The estate goes to statutory heirs in the order defined by Section 1629 CCC: descendants first, then parents, then full siblings, and so on. Unmarried partners, regardless of how long they have lived together, receive nothing under intestate rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-there-inheritance-tax-in-thailand\">Is there inheritance tax in Thailand?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, since 2016. However, only estates exceeding 100 million THB (approximately USD 2.8 million) are taxed. The rate is 5% for descendants and ascendants, and 10% for all other heirs. Legally registered spouses are fully exempt. The vast majority of foreign estates fall below the threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-does-it-cost-to-make-a-thai-will\">How much does it cost to make a Thai will?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A professionally drafted Thai will typically costs between 5,000 and 25,000 THB, depending on the complexity of the estate and whether bilingual drafting is required. This is a small investment compared to the potential cost of probate without a will, which can exceed 300,000 THB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-write-my-own-will-in-thailand-without-a-lawyer\">Can I write my own will in Thailand without a lawyer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Thai law allows holographic wills. The testator must handwrite the full will. It must be dated and signed. No witnesses are needed under Section 1657 of the CCC. However, handwritten wills are more easily challenged on grounds of forgery or capacity. For foreigners with significant assets, professional drafting is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-a-thai-will-override-my-will-from-my-home-country\">Does a Thai will override my will from my home country?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not if both wills are properly drafted. Best practice is to include a clause in each will stating it applies only to assets in that specific jurisdiction. Without this clause, a later Thai will could unintentionally revoke an earlier foreign will under Section 1697 CCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-does-probate-take-in-thailand\">How long does probate take in Thailand?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a valid Thai will and a local executor, the typical timeline is 3 to 6 months. Without a Thai will or with a foreign will only, expect 12\u201324 months. Complex estates involving land, company shares, or contested claims can take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-role-of-the-estate-administrator-in-thailand\">What is the role of the estate administrator in Thailand?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The estate administrator is appointed by the court under Section 1711 CCC. The administrator has the legal power to collect the estate\u2019s assets. They can pay debts. They can file tax returns. They can distribute the estate. They must complete administration within one year unless the court extends the period. The executor named in the will is often appointed as the administrator. But the court can appoint someone else if there are valid objections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-disinherit-a-family-member-in-thailand\">Can I disinherit a family member in Thailand?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Thai law does not impose &#8220;forced heirship&#8221; rules like some civil law countries (e.g., France). You have full testamentary freedom to leave your Thai assets to anyone you wish, provided the will is valid. However, if you disinherit a statutory heir, they may challenge the will. So, keep clear records of your intent and mental capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-the-be-2569-regulation-change-who-inherits\">Does the new B.E. 2569 will regulation change who inherits my estate?<\/h3>\n\n<p>No. The Ministerial Regulation B.E. 2569, in force since 24 March 2026, is a <strong>procedural<\/strong> reform of how wills and inheritance declarations are made at district offices \u2014 it introduces standardised official forms issued by the Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA) and stricter checks on capacity and free will. Who your statutory heirs are, what shares they receive, and how disinheritance works all remain governed by Book VI of the Civil and Commercial Code. Wills validly made before 24 March 2026 stay valid, though a review is sensible for larger estates.

Under the\u00a0Land Code Act B.E. 2497 (1954), Section 86, foreigners are generally\u00a0prohibited from owning land\u00a0in Thailand. However, a foreigner\u00a0can\u00a0inherit land \u2014 the legal process is as follows: The Thai probate court recognises the foreigner as a rightful heir The heir must apply to the\u00a0Minister of Interior\u00a0for permission to own the land If permission is\u00a0denied\u00a0(which is common), the foreigner has\u00a0one year to sell the land\u00a0and keep the proceeds (Section 93, Land Code) If the foreigner fails to sell within one year, the Director-General of the Land Department may order a forced sale Key Takeaway:\u00a0Foreigners\u00a0can\u00a0inherit land in Thailand and receive the monetary value : they just cannot keep ownership long-term. A practical option is to add a sale instruction to your Thai will. You can also structure ownership through a Thai spouse, usufruct, or long-term lease during your lifetime. There is also a limited, \u201cindefinite\u201d ownership right for inherited land.
