Inheritance and Succession Law
At KSN Bangkok Co., Ltd., we offer comprehensive legal services in inheritance and succession law, assisting individuals and families in planning, managing, and securing the transfer of their estates in Thailand. Estate planning and inheritance matters require careful legal structuring to ensure that assets are distributed according to the testator’s wishes, legal heirs are properly recognized, and potential disputes are minimized. Our experienced legal team provides strategic advice and legal representation to help clients navigate complex succession laws, probate proceedings, and inheritance disputes.
Thailand’s inheritance laws are governed by the Civil and Commercial Code, and legal complexities may arise in cases involving foreign nationals, cross-border estates, or disputes among heirs. Without proper legal planning, assets may be distributed according to statutory inheritance laws, which may not always align with the wishes of the deceased. To avoid uncertainty and legal complications, it is crucial to establish a well-structured estate plan, draft a legally valid will, and ensure proper execution of inheritance procedures.
Our firm assists both Thai and foreign clients in preparing for asset succession, inheritance protection, and estate distribution, ensuring that their legal interests are safeguarded. Whether you need assistance with will drafting, estate administration, probate proceedings, or legal representation in inheritance disputes, our legal team is committed to providing clear, effective, and legally sound solutions tailored to your specific needs.
