Last Will and Testament and Executor Services
Making a Living or Last Will Testament with Pattaya Legal Consultants:
If making a last will and testament has you puzzled, by the jargon used, then you're like most people who come into see us every day of the week.
This is my job full time at Pattaya Legal Consultants, and so I hope to take the confusion out of it for you. I live and work in the Pattaya area and know many people that have businesses, family and overseas assets that they want to protect should something ever happen to them.
Many people call and tell us it's a simple will and shouldn’t take too long to write up. Well, it usually takes us a few days to draft something, then after you’re okay with what we've outlined, we print it out for you to sign.
Most of the time things go well, but occasionally things don't go to plan if your will has been poorly written in the first place. Then you're being dragged through the Thai Courts trying to explain what was really meant in the first place. So it's best to get it done properly!
So why you need a Thai lawyer to do the will for you? Put simply, one or two words left out (or added in the wrong spot) could give you headaches and heartaches for years to come. It needs to be legal, written the way the Thai legal system outlines and not by a well-meaning friend who knows how to help you.
This opens the door to court action later. “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”. But if the Will is properly written, then chances are if it goes to court will not be disputed later.
The most important person in the Will, this would have to be the Executor as they are the managers of the Will after you die. They need to take the Will to court and give testimony to say they are a fit and proper person to manage the Will. This person in order to get to court has to apply through a Lawyer and the Lawyer gets a court date for them.
They appear in Court and normally the judge gives them the power to go to the bank and close the accounts, go to the land office and change the name on the Chanote (Title Deed), sell the cars and bikes, pay the bills and donate items to charity.
There is a lot of work and all the docs require a legal person, plus someone that speaks, reads and writes Thai. At Pattaya legal consultations we have made Wills for 100’s of people from all over the World. You dont need to pay big money for a Will Pattaya legal Consultants has been making low cost, very affordable Wills for the Expat community for many years and our reputation for fairness is well known. Ask around and you will find our Wills and service very competitive.
We have even been working with many international law firms all over the world to represent their clients when it comes to legal matter. Staffs and lawyers at Pattaya Legal Consultants speak, read and write Thai and English Our staff work with you until you are satisfied with your Will in Thai and English.
Once you approve the documents, we print, you come into sign in front of our 2 legal staff and a picture of you is taken. This proves that you were competent (in a healthy frame of mind and were not forced to make the Will) as later on your Will has to go to court and the Judge can see the picture.
Appointment First of all send me an email and I will send you a checklist of what docs we need to draw up and translate the Will. The checklist covers your property, who is the next of kin (NOK), who gets the property in your Will (Beneficiary), and who is the manager (Executor) of your Will, who to contact in Thailand and in your home country, your Embassy.
All names, addresses and contacts are included and of course should something happen to any of the above, we list alternative people (this makes the Executors job easier) as well. Making your friend the Executor This might seem like and honor to nominate your friend however, its a lot of work and a lawyer has to be involved too, and in most cases they will resign from the role as they don’t have the knowledge or language to deal with these government departments.
Resigning is another step in the court process and not necessary if you write the Will properly in the first instance. Registering the Will This is no longer necessary. You will receive a signed copy of the Will and the other goes to the Executor. Keep then in a safe place. We can scan your signed Will and send to other people involved. Executor of the Will I have heard people at the various clubs say the Lawyers acting as the Executors steal all the assets.
There is a solution to this and so have a co Executor. As, in some cases the other co executor is over seas and cannot come to the court case in Thailand and the other Executor can act for them. Under Thai Law these people are responsible for each other. we can arrange everything from making the Will, the funeral, Court and sending the properties back to the people in your Will.
No more running from company to company as we do everything, saving you time and money. AND all in English. Summary Pattaya Legal Consultants has the experienced staff and reviews to make your Will properly.
We have a full time Lawyers available just phone call away So call us for professional advise, as you never know and its always best to be prepared. Lastly you don’t want to government to get your hard earned property.
