"After my mother passed, I had no idea where to begin with her property. The team explained each stage patiently, and I never felt rushed. The written summary at the end was something I kept referring to for months."
June 2026 · Family Estate Review"Handling my late wife's estate as a foreigner in Thailand was daunting. Adita Counsel made it manageable. Communication was entirely in English and they knew exactly which documents the Land Department needed. It took longer than I hoped but they explained why."
May 2026 · Succession & Heirship Support"Our family had different views on how my father's estate should be divided. Adita Counsel helped us understand what the law actually said, and eventually we reached an agreement without going to court. I was worried about the cost but the initial case assessment was included."
June 2026 · Estate Resolution Representation"We weren't sure there was even a legal problem — we just wanted to check. The estate review gave us clarity. It turned out there was a gap in the documentation we hadn't noticed. Having that identified early saved us a lot of difficulty later."
May 2026 · Family Estate Review"Practical, clear, and honest. I asked a lot of questions and they were always answered directly. The succession process took about two months given the property involved, which was within the timeframe they had described. I would recommend them to other expatriates."
April 2026 · Succession & Heirship Support"The tone throughout was respectful and unhurried. We came to them during a very emotional period and they understood that. What I valued most was receiving written updates — I didn't have to chase anyone for news. The outcome was fair to everyone in the family."

These are illustrative accounts drawn from the types of matters we regularly handle. Names have been changed.
A Family Unsure Where an Estate Began
Three adult children inherited from a parent who had left no will. They were uncertain which assets formed part of the estate, who held authority to act, and what the correct legal steps were. One property had two separate title deed entries that appeared inconsistent.
We conducted a Family Estate Review — reviewing all available documents, identifying the discrepancy in the title deeds, and mapping out the estate's composition. A written overview was provided explaining each asset, how it would be treated under Thai succession law, and what steps to take next.
The family had a clear picture of the estate within twelve days. The title deed issue was identified in time to address it through the Land Department before any transfer was attempted — avoiding a potentially significant delay. The children proceeded to the Succession Support service with confidence.
"We came in with a folder of papers and no idea what any of it meant. We left with a plan."
An Expatriate Family with Cross-Border Complexity
A European national who had lived in Chiang Rai for many years passed away leaving property and financial assets in Thailand. His adult children, based in Europe, needed to manage the succession from abroad, with documents in multiple languages and coordination across two countries.
We took on Succession and Heirship Support — accepting foreign-language documents for review, liaising with the consulate, coordinating with the Land Department, and conducting all client communication in English via email to suit the time zone difference. Written updates were provided at each stage.
All assets were transferred to the heirs within approximately eleven weeks. The family managed the entire process without needing to travel to Thailand. They received a full record of every step taken and copies of all registered documents for their own files.
"Being in a different country made us feel powerless. Having someone we trusted handling things on the ground made all the difference."
