In the common law, a will or testament is a document by which a person (the testator) regulates the rights of others over his or her property or family after death. For the devolution of property not disposed of by will, see inheritance and intestacy.
Thailand Will
In Thailand, when a person dies without a will. It is down to the law to decide who will benefit from the estate of the deceased. There are six classes of statutory heirs in Thailand. Each class is entitled to inherit in the following order;
- Descendants
- Parents
- Brother and sisters of full blood
- Brother and sister of half blood
- Grand father and grand mother
- Uncles and aunts
If the legal spouse still alive he/she will also be a statutory heir.
Will let you choose your heirs and clearly outlines your last wishes. If you do not have a will, the law in Thailand will instead determine who inherits your properties. A proper will is a guarantee that your wishes will be respected.
