Badrabbit Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Not sure where to ask this so thought someone might have done this in Phuket, can you make a Will yourself or does it have to be done through a Law practise, getting on in yrs now so want to sort this out so should the unthinkable happen the bank will not take it.

pagallim Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Wife and I both made wills some years ago, through a lawyer. Can't comment on the legality of a DIY type will, but my gut feel doesn't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Whilst not wishing to recommend a particular lawyer, what I strongly recommend is that you get one with good English skills and thoroughly proof read the translated English version of the will.

I have every confidence this is good enough here in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schlog Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Did it years ago at the ampher office. Easy and good service. Registered will for only some baht. But your thai must be good if not forget this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We typed it on a Word program in Thai and then used Google translate for me to read in English. No big deal for me. I left her everything. Just a legal document to smooth it all all out. She die first I get everything but we all know property issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app That's good for her and makes life easier for you. But the ampher officer will only set up a registered will for you if you could speak thai or you bring a certified translator or lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
