We also enhance investment security through in-depth Legal Due Diligence services to thoroughly assess the correctness, title, and legal encumbrances of assets before you decide to acquire or lease large-scale assets such as industrial facilities or hotel businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a will really necessary when the family gets along well, and if so, what form is the safest?

It is very necessary. After a loss, property matters easily become a source of conflict. A will properly drafted by a lawyer and witnessed correctly will prevent disputes and ensure that assets genuinely pass to the people you love.

What are the duties of an estate administrator, and if no administrator has been appointed, can bank accounts be withdrawn from or land transferred?

An estate administrator is responsible for collecting and distributing assets to the heirs in accordance with the law. Without a formal court order appointing an administrator, banks and the Land Department will refuse to process any related transactions. Our firm can assist in filing the court application to complete the appointment swiftly.

What are the rules for filing for divorce and dividing marital property if the other party does not consent?

If a consensual divorce registration is not possible, the court process must be used and there must be a legally recognized ground for divorce (such as supporting another man or woman, or desertion). Our legal team will gather evidence to contest the matter and claim the most equitable division of marital property and child custody rights.

Can foreigners purchase or hold property in Thailand with complete safety?

Thai law places restrictions on foreign land ownership. However, foreigners may hold condominium unit title deeds (within the foreign ownership quota), or use a long-term lease (Leasehold) structure, as well as invest via the BOI legal framework. Our firm will conduct Due Diligence on the property and structure the agreements for 100% secure protection.
