Legal Counsel That Puts the Family First
Inheritance matters are not just procedural. They are personal. Our approach reflects that — at every step.
Back to HomeWhat Sets Our Practice Apart
Each of these reflects a deliberate choice about how we operate — not just a general statement of intent.
Dedicated Senior Attention
Your matter is handled directly by a senior legal adviser from the first meeting through to completion. You won't be passed between junior staff at each stage.
Written Summaries at Each Stage
After every key step, we provide a concise written summary of what has happened and what comes next — so you always know where your matter stands.
Transparent, Stated Pricing
Every service has a clear price shown upfront. If your matter requires additional work beyond the initial scope, we discuss the cost before proceeding — no surprises.
English-Language Services
All advice, documents, and correspondence are available in English. We regularly assist international families and expatriates with Thai estate matters.
Prompt Response Commitment
We respond to client messages within one working day. During active matters, we are in regular contact without needing to be chased.
Sensitivity to Family Dynamics
We are aware that inheritance matters often arise during periods of loss. Our communication is measured and considerate throughout — never clinical or abrupt.
Over Fifteen Years of Inheritance Law Practice
The practitioners at Adita Counsel have worked specifically in inheritance and succession law since the firm was established in 2011. This is not a general practice that handles estate matters occasionally — it is all we do.
That focus means we are familiar with the most common complications, the administrative requirements of the Land Department in Chiang Rai, and the circumstances under which family disputes arise. We do not learn on the job at your expense.

Advice Delivered in a Way That Actually Helps
Legal advice is only useful if the person receiving it can understand and act on it. We write and speak in plain language, and we check that the families we advise have understood what has been said before moving on.
We also recognise that many families consulting us are doing so during a period of grief or stress. That shapes how we communicate — calmly, without pressure, and with an awareness that legal processes can feel unfamiliar and daunting.
Clear Fees — No Unexpected Additions
Each service at Adita Counsel carries a stated price. This is what the service costs. If your situation turns out to be more involved than expected, we discuss any additional work and its cost before it is undertaken. You decide.
Our fees reflect the depth of attention each matter receives. Estate matters in Thailand often involve coordination with multiple government offices, and thorough preparation at the outset prevents delays and additional cost further down the line.
Private consultation + written overview. Completed in 1–2 weeks.
Document review + ongoing updates. Timeline varies by estate.
Full document handling + guidance. Case assessed on its facts first.
Adita Counsel vs Typical Legal Practices
Not all legal practices handle inheritance matters with the same level of care. Here is how our approach differs from what families typically encounter.
| Service Feature | Typical Practice | Adita Counsel |
|---|---|---|
| English-language advice & documents | Limited | Full service |
| Stated price before work begins | Hourly billing | Fixed fee shown upfront |
| Single adviser throughout | Staff changes common | Same person, start to finish |
| Written summary after each stage | Verbal updates only | Written at each milestone |
| Response within one working day | 3–5 day average | Committed one-day response |
| Focus on inheritance law only | General practice | Specialist focus |
What You Will Not Find Elsewhere
Second-Adviser Review on Every Case
Before any significant document is filed or submitted, it is reviewed by a second qualified practitioner within our firm. This internal check catches potential errors before they become problems.
International Family Experience
We have practical experience assisting families with mixed Thai and foreign heirs, coordination with foreign embassies, and the additional document steps that apply to cross-border estates.
A "What to Prepare" Checklist
New clients receive a quiet, practical note on what to gather before the first consultation. This prevents common delays and helps families feel prepared rather than overwhelmed at the outset.
Dispute Avoidance Before Formal Process
When family disagreements surface early, we can often help all parties understand the legal position before formal dispute procedures begin — reducing cost and strain on family relationships.
