Why Families Choose Us

An Approach Suited to Matters of This Kind

Estate and inheritance work calls for more than procedural knowledge — it calls for steadiness and discretion.

Focused Practice Area

Our work concentrates on inheritance and estate matters. This focus means the team is familiar with the particular complications these cases often present.

Cross-Jurisdictional Experience

Many families we work with have connections spanning two or more countries. We are accustomed to coordinating across legal systems without losing sight of what each party needs.

Plain Communication

Legal processes in this area can be opaque. We write and speak plainly, and we take the time to explain each step before it is taken.

Discretion as a Standard

Family estate matters are private. We treat every client's circumstances with appropriate care and do not discuss client matters outside the necessary professional context.

Realistic Timelines

Some matters — particularly cross-border ones — take a year or more. We set realistic expectations at the outset and keep families informed as work proceeds.

Established in Chonburi

Our office in Pattaya serves clients across the eastern seaboard region and those with interests in Thailand more broadly, including non-residents managing estates from abroad.

Is There a Matter We Can Help You With?

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step if I need to handle a family member's estate in Thailand?

The first step is usually a consultation to understand the nature of the estate — what assets are held, where family members are located, and whether there is a will. From there, we can outline what the process would involve and what documents will be needed.

How long does the heir documentation process typically take?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the family records and whether documents need to be obtained from authorities in other countries. In straightforward cases with documents readily available, the process may take a few weeks. Where foreign records are involved, it often takes several months.

Can Chai Advocates assist if the estate involves assets in more than one country?

Yes. Our cross-border inheritance coordination service is specifically designed for this situation. We review how the relevant legal systems interact and coordinate with counsel in the other jurisdiction where needed. These matters typically require a year or more to complete.

I live outside Thailand but have interests in an estate here. Can you assist me?

Yes. A number of our clients are based outside Thailand and manage their affairs from abroad. Initial consultations can be conducted by correspondence or by arrangement, and we can guide you through the documentation requirements from a distance.

What does a power of attorney cover, and what are its limits?

A power of attorney authorises a named representative to act in specific matters on your behalf. The document is drafted to define clearly what the representative may and may not do. We take care that the scope is accurate and that both parties understand it before the document is finalised.

Are your fees fixed or based on the time involved?

Each of our main services carries a stated fee. For more complex or extended matters, additional fees may apply if the scope of work extends beyond what was initially anticipated — this would be discussed openly before any additional work proceeds.
