What Families Say
Accounts from Families We Have Assisted
We do not seek dramatic endorsements. What we hear most often is that families found the process clearer than they expected, and that having one consistent advocate made a difficult period more manageable.

Wanchai Thongsuk
Lopburi, Central Thailand
My father passed without a will. I had no idea where to start and was worried about disagreements between my siblings. The briefing we received laid out the statutory order clearly, and we all read it together. It stopped a lot of tension before it started. We then engaged Lopburi Legal to handle the full probate. Khun Somchai was the same face throughout — that mattered to us.

Siriporn Phongchai
Saraburi, heir in Lopburi estate
I live in Saraburi and was managing the estate of my aunt who lived in Tha Hin. I could not be in Lopburi for every court date, and Khun Nanthida coordinated everything at the Land Department on our behalf. The process took about four months from filing to registration. Communication was steady — I knew where things stood without having to chase for updates. There was one delay with the court schedule that was outside anyone's control, but they flagged it promptly.

Thomas Kiefer
German national, resident Lopburi
As a foreign resident with a Thai spouse who had passed, I needed someone who could explain Thai inheritance law in English and handle the property registration without me needing to understand every document. Lopburi Legal managed the entire proceeding with good communication in English at every step. The fee was exactly what was quoted. I appreciated that they were direct about what the process could and could not achieve.
Inheritance Briefing + Probate — April 2025
Noi Limcharoen
Mueang Lopburi District
We used the Inheritance Briefing to understand our mother's estate before deciding what to do next. It was worth every baht. We had assumed the process would be more complicated than it turned out to be, and the written summary helped us make a calm, informed decision as a family. We did proceed to probate with them afterward — the briefing made that conversation much easier.

Prapaphan Srisuwan
Bangkok, heir to Lopburi property
My family had a contested matter — a half-sibling made a claim against our father's estate. I was not sure how serious the claim was or how to respond. Lopburi Legal took on the Full Inheritance Defense. The process took fourteen months, which is long, but they prepared us for that at the outset. The claim was eventually dismissed. I was kept informed at every stage. I found them measured and calm when things became difficult.
Full Inheritance Defense — Concluded April 2025
Kanya Arthithan
Lopburi
I contacted them in early April when we were still grieving and felt overwhelmed by the idea of starting a legal proceeding. Pichaya at reception was very kind. They did not push us to engage immediately. We started with the briefing a few weeks later when we were ready, and everything moved from there at a pace we could manage. The property registration completed in May. Professional and genuinely considerate.

Selected Case Studies
Three matters, described in general terms with client consent.
Estate of a Farmer in Tha Hin — Two Adjacent Land Parcels
The Situation
A family of five adult children approached us following the death of their father, who had died intestate holding two adjacent agricultural land parcels. The family were in agreement about the distribution but had no clear picture of the process.
What We Did
We began with an Inheritance Briefing for the family as a group. On the strength of that, they engaged us for the full probate proceeding. We prepared documentation for both parcels simultaneously, filed in Lopburi Provincial Court, and coordinated the Land Department transfers following administrator appointment.
Outcome
Both parcels transferred to the five heirs in accordance with statutory distribution within five months of first contact. Government charges totalled approximately ฿4,800 across the two parcels — within the estimate provided at engagement start.
"Having all five of us read the written briefing together before we made any decisions was the right way to start. By the time we engaged them properly, we were all on the same page."
Expatriate Estate — Cross-Border Considerations and Language Barrier
The Situation
A European national had lived in Lopburi for eleven years and held a residential property in his name. He died with a will drafted in his home country. His adult children, residing in Europe, needed representation in Thailand and had limited ability to travel.
What We Did
We assessed the foreign will's admissibility under Thai law, arranged for certified translation, and filed in Lopburi court. We communicated exclusively in English with the heirs, managing all Thai-language documentation internally. One heir visited once for signing — otherwise the matter was handled remotely.
Outcome
The will was admitted and the property transferred to the heirs within eight months. The family avoided the cost of repeated travel to Thailand. The process required more coordination than a standard domestic proceeding, but no additional professional fee was charged beyond the initial scope.
"We were concerned we would need to be physically present much more than we were. They handled the court appearances and kept us informed in English throughout."
Contested Claim by a Third Party Against a Rural Estate
The Situation
An individual not recognised as a statutory heir made a claim against a rural estate in Lopburi Province, asserting an informal arrangement with the deceased. The legitimate heirs were distressed and unsure whether the claim had any legal standing.
What We Did
We reviewed the claim's basis and advised the family on its likely standing before any proceedings formally commenced. We then conducted the Full Inheritance Defense — managing the probate filing, responding to the claim in civil proceedings, and providing the family with steady advocacy over fourteen months.
Outcome
The court did not admit the third-party claim. The estate was administered and distributed to the statutory heirs. The family's anxiety throughout the proceeding was significant — our role included keeping them grounded in what the process required week by week.
"When someone makes a claim on your family's property, it feels very threatening. Having the same advocate manage everything, and being told the truth about how long it would take, made it possible to get through."
