What We Offer
The Practical Advantages of a Focused Practice
Choosing a law office for an inheritance matter is a considered decision. These are the qualities families have found meaningful about working with Lopburi Legal.
← Return to HomepageCore Advantages
Single Advocate Throughout
The advocate who discusses your matter at the outset is the same one who conducts it through every stage. Your family does not repeat itself to new people at each turn.
Lopburi Court Familiarity
We work in Lopburi Provincial Court regularly. We know the filing requirements, the timelines, and the staff — and that practical familiarity reduces avoidable delays.
Written Scope Before Work Begins
Every engagement begins with a written letter describing what we will do, what it will cost, and what government charges are separate. Nothing proceeds on an informal understanding.
Plain Language Updates
We communicate in English and Thai without legal jargon when jargon is not needed. Families stay informed without needing a law degree to follow what is happening.
Paced to Your Circumstances
Inheritance proceedings often arrive during bereavement. We move at the pace families can manage, not just what is administratively possible. That consideration matters.
Narrow Scope, Greater Depth
We do not practise in criminal, commercial, or family law. Inheritance and estate matters are what we do. The focus produces a depth of knowledge that a general practice finds harder to maintain.
Expertise in Thai Succession Law
Thai inheritance law operates under Books V and VI of the Civil and Commercial Code. Its application — particularly where immovable property, multiple heirs, and existing wills interact — is not always straightforward. Our senior advocate has worked exclusively in this area since 2006.
We follow amendments to court practice directions through the Lawyers Council and through Lopburi Provincial Court's own bulletins. The knowledge is current, not derived from a general practice textbook.
- Intestate succession analysis for complex family structures
- Foreign will admission procedures in Thai courts
- Administrator appointment proceedings at Lopburi court
- Land Department registration for inherited property
- Written engagement letter before any work begins
- Stage-by-stage updates at each point of progress
- Document checklist provided at engagement start
- Any scope changes discussed before incurring additional fees
A Clear Process at Every Stage
Families facing a probate proceeding for the first time often find the procedural sequence difficult to follow. We make a point of explaining each step before it happens — what the court requires, what documents we need from you, and what happens next.
The process should feel navigable, even when it is slow.
Transparent Fees, No Surprises
Our professional fees are published. The Inheritance Briefing is ฿2,200. Probate and property transfer is ฿5,200. Full Inheritance Defense is ฿10,800. Government and Land Department charges are statutory and separate — we estimate these at the start so you have a complete picture.
If the scope changes substantially, we stop and discuss fees before proceeding. There are no mid-engagement surprises.
- Fixed professional fees for all three service tiers
- Government fee estimates provided upfront
- No charges for initial enquiry calls or messages
- Written confirmation before any additional fee is incurred

What Sets Us Apart
The Inheritance Briefing
A short, written engagement designed for families at the very beginning — before they have committed to a full probate proceeding. At ฿2,200, it is an entry point that few firms offer separately. It clarifies the legal position so families can decide what to do next with full information.
We Walk Through the Land Department
Property transfer at the Lopburi Land Department office is included in our probate engagement fee, not billed as a separate item. Families avoid the experience of finishing probate court only to face another unfamiliar bureaucratic process alone.
Referral Without Embarrassment
If a matter requires expertise we do not have — notarial services, international estate planning, or specialist tax questions — we refer to known practitioners rather than accepting work outside our scope. Families find this honesty reassuring.
English-Language Handling
For families that include non-Thai speakers — expatriate residents, overseas heirs, or mixed-nationality families — we manage correspondence in English throughout, translating formal documents and court filings where required.
