Common Questions

Questions families often bring before a first meeting.

How does Thai inheritance law determine who inherits? +

Thai law sets out six classes of statutory heirs — descendants, parents, siblings of full blood, siblings of half blood, grandparents, and uncles or aunts. They inherit in that order, with earlier classes generally excluding later ones. A surviving spouse holds a concurrent right alongside whichever class is present. If a will exists, it operates within these rules but can alter the distribution substantially. Our Inheritance Briefing service explains how the framework applies to your particular family.

How long does probate typically take in Lopburi? +

An uncontested probate proceeding in Lopburi Provincial Court generally takes between three and six months from the date of filing to the court's appointment of an administrator. Property transfers at the Land Department follow after that, and their timeline depends on the number of parcels and the documentation in hand. Contested proceedings take considerably longer. We provide realistic timeline estimates at the outset of every engagement.

Does a will made abroad apply to property in Thailand? +

A foreign will may be admitted to Thai courts if it meets certain formal requirements, though the process involves additional steps including translation and, in some cases, authentication. Thai courts apply Thai law to immovable property located in Thailand regardless of the will's origin. For families with cross-border estates, the Inheritance Briefing service often provides a useful starting point before committing to a full course of action.

What happens if heirs disagree about the estate? +

Disputed inheritance matters become contentious proceedings before the civil court. This adds time and complexity, though not every disagreement reaches that stage. In many situations, a well-organised presentation of the legal position helps families reach an arrangement without contested litigation. Our Full Inheritance Defense service covers both the conduct of contested proceedings and, where possible, the measured resolution of disputes before they reach trial.

Are your fees fixed or do they change during the work? +

The fees shown for each engagement represent the professional fee for that scope of work. Government filing fees and Land Department charges are separate statutory costs, and we provide an estimate of these at the start. If the scope of the work changes substantially — for example, if an uncontested matter becomes disputed — we discuss fees openly before proceeding further. Nothing changes without prior agreement.

Can I approach you even if I am not certain which service applies? +

Yes. Many families reach us with a general situation rather than a clearly defined legal question. An initial message or phone call costs nothing, and we are pleased to help you understand where your matter sits before any engagement is agreed. The Inheritance Briefing service exists precisely to bring clarity before larger decisions are made.
