Priya Krishnamurthy
Singapore · Complete Estate Mandate
My father's estate in Bangkok involved property in two provinces and accounts I knew nothing about. Damrong Law took care of everything from the initial inventory through to the land title transfers. Somsak kept me updated at each stage with a written summary — I was never left wondering where things stood. The process took about seven months, which he'd estimated from the start.

United Kingdom · Will Authentication & Probate
My mother had a British will and a condominium in Sathorn. I was worried the legalization process would drag on for over a year. In fact, it was closer to five months. The translation and legalization were all handled in-house — I didn't have to find a separate translator. The court attendance was handled without any issues I was called about. I think the fee was very fair for what was involved.

Suwipha Ratanaphon
Bangkok · Estate Inventory Review
We weren't sure whether we needed to go through the courts at all. We just needed to understand what my grandmother had left and in what form. The inventory review gave us a clear written list that the family could all see and agree on. The advocate explained every item — which was helpful for the older members of my family who aren't familiar with legal documents. Worth every baht.

Michael Huang
Hong Kong · Complete Estate Mandate
One sibling raised a dispute partway through the process. Damrong Law handled it professionally without the situation escalating further. Kriengkrai was very thorough in the documentation, which made it straightforward to address the contested claim. It added a few months to the timeline, but that was unavoidable. The final result was a fair distribution that all parties accepted.

Anjali Chakravarti
Chiang Mai · Will Authentication & Probate
The process took a little longer than I'd hoped — about six months for the probate. But Nanthipha explained that some of that was waiting on the court's schedule rather than anything on their side. The documents were always well-prepared and I didn't have to follow up — they would contact me when each step was complete. I'd recommend them, particularly for anyone dealing with a foreign will in Thailand.

Narong Thongsuk
Nonthaburi · Estate Inventory Review
Simple situation — my uncle had a house and a savings account, and we just needed confirmation of the legal position before the family divided things informally. The register Damrong Law produced gave us everything we needed, and the explanation of each asset's status was helpful. Very straightforward to deal with, and the fee was modest for the work involved.

Case Studies
Three representative cases, anonymized with client consent.
Case Study A — Complete Estate Mandate
The Challenge
A family of four heirs — two based in Thailand, two in Australia — needed to administer an estate comprising a house in Pathum Thani, two condominium units in Bangkok, and accounts at three different banks. One heir was disputing the division set out in the will.
Our Approach
We began with a complete inventory, then filed for probate with the Bangkok Civil Court. The disputed claim was addressed through mediation, supported by the detailed asset register we had produced. The court appointed the administrator and we coordinated all title transfers with the Land Department.
The Outcome
All three properties transferred to the appropriate heirs within nine months. The bank accounts were closed and funds distributed. The contested claim was withdrawn after mediation. The family received a complete file of all proceedings.
"Having one person responsible throughout meant nothing got lost between departments." — Client, May 2025
Case Study B — Will Authentication & Probate
The Challenge
A British national with a valid English will had owned a Sathorn condominium for fifteen years. The will named a single beneficiary, the deceased's adult son based in London. The son had no Thai legal contacts and was uncertain whether the English will was usable in Thailand.
Our Approach
We assessed the will for Thai law compatibility, arranged certified translation and Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization, then filed the probate application. We represented the estate at the court hearing and coordinated the condominium title transfer with the juristic person office.
The Outcome
The condominium was transferred to the beneficiary within five months. No issues arose at the court hearing. The son subsequently arranged to sell the property through a local agent — outside our scope, but we provided the documentation he needed for that process.
"I had expected to spend a year sorting this out. It was considerably less." — Client, March 2025
Case Study C — Estate Inventory Review
The Challenge
A Thai family needed to understand what their elderly mother owned before she passed, to assist with forward planning. There was no indication probate would be needed. They wanted a clear, organized record they could all refer to.
Our Approach
We conducted a systematic inventory across all asset categories — land titles, accounts, vehicle registrations — and produced a bilingual register with the legal status of each item noted. We also identified one piece of land where the title was unclear, which the family was previously unaware of.
The Outcome
The family received a clear written register within three weeks. The title issue was flagged for resolution before any transfer would be needed. The family subsequently engaged us for the complete mandate when the time came, as they were already familiar with our approach.
"We hadn't realized there was a problem with one of the titles. Finding that early made a real difference." — Client, April 2025
