What We Offer
Three Services,
Each Precisely Scoped
Our services are designed to meet families at different points in the inheritance process — from initial understanding through to the conclusion of complex contested proceedings.
← Return to HomepageOur Approach
Every engagement at Lopburi Legal begins with a written letter describing what we will do, what it will cost, and what government charges are separate. We do not start work until the family has agreed in writing to proceed. That arrangement protects both parties and ensures there are no misunderstandings about scope or cost.
We take on a limited number of matters at any time so that each family receives the attention their proceedings require. Inheritance work is not a volume practice. The documentation involved in a single estate can be substantial, and the court's timeline is not always within anyone's control — but the quality of preparation and advocacy is.
Inheritance Briefing
A short, focused engagement for family members who would like a clear written outline of how Thai inheritance law applies to their particular situation. The briefing covers the order of statutory heirs, the typical timeline of a probate proceeding, and the practical questions worth considering before any further step is taken. It is designed to produce clarity, not commitment.
- Written summary of the statutory heir order in your situation
- Overview of the probate timeline in Lopburi court
- Practical questions the family should consider
- Assessment of whether a will, if one exists, is likely to be accepted

Full Inheritance Defense
A complete multi-stage representation in inheritance proceedings, including probate conduct, defense against contested claims, and administration through to the final distribution of property. Led by a single senior advocate with a small dedicated team, the engagement provides the family with steady continuity over many months of careful work. Contested proceedings require patience; we provide both the advocacy and the steadiness the process demands.

- Defense of contested claims in civil proceedings
- Property administration through final distribution
- Single advocate from opening to close — no handover
- Regular progress briefings to family members
Typical Duration
Contested inheritance proceedings in Thailand typically run between eight months and two years depending on the complexity of the dispute and the court's schedule. We provide a realistic timeline assessment at the engagement start and keep families informed as that estimate develops.
