Why Moradok Law

What We Bring to Each Matter

Inheritance is rarely just a legal process. It touches family history, personal grief, and complicated relationships. These are the principles that shape how we work.

Plain Language Throughout

Legal terminology has its place; we keep it in the documents, not the conversation. Every step is explained clearly so you can make informed decisions without feeling lost.

No Unnecessary Haste

We work at the pace that suits your family's situation. Some matters benefit from careful preparation rather than speed, and we will always tell you where time is genuinely important.

Realistic Expectations

We are honest about what the law can and cannot achieve. You will receive a frank assessment from the first meeting, so there are no surprises later on.

Sensitivity to Family Dynamics

Inheritance matters often involve grief and family tension. Our approach aims to minimise conflict wherever possible and to handle all parties with respect.

Thai & International Estates

We regularly assist families where assets or beneficiaries span more than one country. Our team understands the additional steps that cross-border estates involve under Thai law.

Written Summaries Provided

After each consultation, you receive a written summary of the advice given and the agreed next steps. Nothing is left to memory or assumption.

Have Questions About an Estate?

You are welcome to reach out without obligation. An initial conversation costs nothing and often provides useful clarity, whatever stage you are at.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to questions we often hear when families first come to us.

Who can make a will under Thai law?

Any person who is at least 15 years old and of sound mind may make a will in Thailand. The Civil and Commercial Code sets out specific forms — the most common being a holograph will (written entirely by hand by the testator) and a witnessed will. We discuss which form best suits your circumstances during the consultation.

What happens to an estate if there is no will?

When someone dies intestate (without a will) in Thailand, the estate is distributed among statutory heirs in a set order defined by the Civil and Commercial Code. Spouses, children, parents, siblings, and other relatives each have defined priority. The court appoints an administrator to manage the distribution. We can walk you through how this applies to the specific estate.

How long does probate typically take in Thailand?

A straightforward probate application in Thailand — where the will is clear and the heirs are in agreement — can be completed within three to six months. Matters involving disputes, missing heirs, or complex assets may take longer. We give you a realistic timeframe estimate at the outset based on the specific details of the estate.

Can a foreign national inherit property in Thailand?

Foreign nationals may inherit assets in Thailand, though certain restrictions apply to land ownership. Depending on the asset type, a foreign heir may be required to sell the land within a specified period, or the inheritance may take the form of proceeds rather than the title itself. We advise on the correct steps to protect the heir's interests within Thai law.

What is included in the Will & Estate Consultation fee?

The consultation fee of ฿4,700 covers the meeting itself — in person at our Bangkok office or by video call — plus a written summary of the advice provided and the recommended next steps. It is a complete, standalone service suitable for those who want to understand their situation before deciding how to proceed.

Is my information kept confidential?

All information shared with Moradok Law is held in strict confidence in accordance with Thai legal professional obligations. We do not discuss client matters with third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law. Your privacy is treated as fundamental to the relationship.
