Six Reasons to Work With Us
Single-Area Specialisation
We handle inheritance and estate matters only. This depth of focus translates into sharper judgement, fewer errors, and advice that draws on a concentrated body of practical experience.
Fixed, Stated Fees
Our three service fees are published clearly: ฿4,500, ฿9,400, and ฿18,000 respectively. Clients know what they are committing to before any work begins, with no unexplained additions.
Direct Practitioner Access
Clients work directly with the practitioner handling their matter — not a rotating contact team or an automated system. Updates come from the person who knows the file.
Thai and Cross-Border Experience
We assist both Thai nationals and foreign residents with estates that involve Thai assets. Our English-language service removes a common barrier for expatriate families.
Written Summaries for Every Matter
Following each consultation or significant update, we provide a written record in plain language. These serve as a useful reference point for clients and their families.
Realistic Timelines, Clearly Explained
We do not overstate how quickly matters will resolve. Clients receive an honest assessment of what the process involves and a practical sense of how long each stage is likely to take.
Deep Legal Expertise
Our practitioners have spent years working with the Thai Civil and Commercial Code as it applies to succession and estate administration. That accumulated knowledge informs every assessment we make, from the validity of a will to the likely duration of a court appointment for executor.
- Familiarity with Thai court procedures for estate matters
- Experience with both testate and intestate succession
- Ongoing engagement with amendments to succession law
A Clear, Orderly Process
Each service follows a structured approach that clients are briefed on at the start. There are no unexpected detours or unexplained delays. When the process requires additional steps, we explain why and seek the client's agreement before proceeding.
- Defined stages for each type of matter
- Clients briefed before each new phase
- No work proceeds without client awareness
Attentive Client Service
We are a small, focused firm. That means each client receives personal attention rather than being assigned to a queue. Questions receive considered responses, and we make time for clients who need to talk through a development or revisit something we have covered before.
- Named practitioner for each engagement
- In-person, phone, and email communication
- Prompt responses during office hours
Transparent, Proportionate Fees
Our fees reflect the scope of each service and are stated before any commitment is made. We do not add charges for routine correspondence, internal review, or file management. Where an unusual complexity arises, we discuss the implications openly rather than presenting a larger invoice without explanation.
- Fees confirmed in writing before work begins
- No charges for internal file handling
- Payment arrangements discussed at outset

Distinctive Approaches
What We Do Differently
The Planning Checklist
Estate planning clients receive a personalised checklist at the end of their review — a practical document covering what has been addressed, what still requires attention, and what actions are recommended. It is written to be kept, not filed away.
Correspondence-Style Enquiry Handling
Initial enquiries are treated with the care of private correspondence. We read and respond to each one individually. Responses are considered and specific, not templated — because the situation that prompted the enquiry deserves a considered reply.
Family-Sensitive Dispute Handling
Where an estate is contested, we do not default to the most adversarial available approach. We assess whether negotiation or mediation is feasible first, and pursue it where possible — because preserving family relationships after a dispute resolved is often worth more than a marginal legal advantage gained through confrontation.
Scope Clarity Before Commitment
Every engagement begins with a written scope of work. Clients understand what is included, what is excluded, and what would require a separate arrangement. There are no ambiguities that surface later as additional charges.
