UK Wills please check if you live in Thailand

Wording and phrases

Last week in court the Judge questioned a UK Will in that the immovable property (the condo) was given to 2 of the heirs. Their name was specifically attached to this asset at 50/50 % each. However, the movable asset (money in the bank) was not allocated to these heirs and so the Judge request a family tree to show who is alive and who is not. The UK Will was drawn up in old English with bits of Greek thrown in to make it sound official. However, in a Thai Court with a Thai Judge hearing my testimony translated into Thai has was not convinced.

Lost in Translation

The issue was that the condo could be given to the Beneficiaries however the money in the bank was classified as residual and was needed to pay the bills, funeral, lawyers, etc. and what was left (residual) was to be given to who? The English Will was specific in this and stated that under section 41 of UK Law that all debts be settled by the Trustees (Executors) however Thailand does not have trusts or trustees – but rather controllers of property where the heir of Beneficiary is under age.

Thai always takes precedence over another language

Thai Courts, Thai Property, Thai laws and not UK or any other countries Law. However, Thai Courts will sometimes rule if another country has already ruled in favour in their own country. This is a precedence that can have weight in the case in Thailand if another international court has already determined the verdict. But still clarification is needed.

Thai888 Law Wills

Our Wills are designed for Thailand, although we do make international Wills, and are in Thai and English. Our Wills are proof read and signed off by the Testator (the person making the Will) and this shows they understand what their wishes are and that the are of sound mind (competent) to make this legal document. Thai888 Wills can involve other countries assets however should you pass away then international laws may come into play, overseas taxes etc. You may want to consider separating the Wills are this will stop any legal issues after you pass. Remember in the UK over a certain amount of money could attract a 40% tax. You can talk to us about this should you have an issue

Contact [email protected] and I will send you a checklist that points out what info we need to make your Will. We make a draft and send it to you. Any changes we can make. Then when you’re happy we will print it out, you come to sign, all is bound together with your picture (showing your competent) and signed by 2 witnesses in our legal offices. Then and only then do you pay.

Don’t say you have nothing and so don’t need a Will

This is wrong thinking as your body is in a foreign country and so the Embassy/Consulate, Police, Morgue, Hospital, Next of Kin, Temple, ashes, etc all need to be taken care of and when there is a Will in place and an administrator to contact it makes everything much easier.

Do yourself and your family / friends a favour and MAKE a Will now!!!

Deceased Estate Thai888 Law Thailand 2022

Thai888 Law are experts in Last & Living Wills, Probate Law, International & Local Thai Law, Estate distribution and wrapping up the deceased estate, The Executor or Administrator of the Estate.

Estate management is complex

Your Wills are written in a particular way so as to abide by the Thai Law and the Judgement of the courts. 95% of the outcomes are as the Testator (writer of the Will) wished. However, when the Testator has passed away, they cannot defend themselves or their wishes. This is why Thai888 Law has their own court proven way to make sure the Will is as intended.

Court Grant of Probate

This states who is the Executor or administrator of the estate. The Grant is necessary to close bank accounts, close companies, sell properties of land, condominiums, cars, bikes, shares, Bitcoin, etc. Also the Executor may need to go to court to defend the estate as others may make a claim although they may not deserve it.

Dying in Thailand

Thai888 Law has Abroad Funerals Co. to make this easier for grieving families overseas and not able to get to Thailand. We have dozens of cases regarding the need to liquidate the estate this way. A Power of Attorney POA is given to us to deal with the Embassy of the deceased, to make the funeral, cremation, return the ashes to the family, and then apply to the courts for a Grant to do the Probate.

International Tax

Be careful how you write your Will and carefully state its for Thailand assets only and that it is not Worldwide and does not revoke other Wills and Codicils –

International Tax

The UK and USA for example, may, have their own probate system and they will want to add your assets to the big pool and then tax accordingly. If you have assets in another country then you will need the Death Certificate translated and certified at the MOFA and then this can be used in another countries probate. There are many issues and so you may need professional advice. It is relatively cheap insurance for the future.

Review for Thai888 Law and Probate

We haven’t posted the many reviews we get for a long time however we think this is important

My friend, David, passed away one year ago. As Executor, I was faced with duties which took 8 months to complete! From cremation to estate settlement, and probation in the courts I faced daunting tasks.  The staff at Thai888 Law Co. was extremely helpful. They guided me through each stage with professional and friendly support.  Jeab , Kelvin and staff are to be thanked and I would recommend them to anyone facing this situation.  Doug B.

Thai888 Law domain up and running

Monday saw all of our mail systems thai888.com down. We could receive emails but could not send as for an unknown reason. I called our domain hosting service Godaddy in Singapore. This did not help. It became its not our problem but they did try to help.

Email issues

The second call was to TOT Thailand and some techs came out on Tuesday. A few hours later they showed me a screenshot of the Singapore server rejecting thai888.com emails.

Godaddy or TOT

Call back to Godaddy in the USA, where nearly an hour later I was getting angry as no sleep for a day and no email for 2 days.

Again Godaddy rejected that it could be their Singapore servers, although I had the screenshot of the servers rejecting thai888.com mail!

So we have Singapore, Thailand, USA and me being an Australian trying to solve the blame game with me in the middle saying I have to run a company and staff and clients emails aren’t getting through.

In the end, it was not a Godaddy issue according to them nor TOT issue and so.

In the end, I did something very radical. I moved (migrated) our thai888.com domain and all things to the USA.

6 hours later I got a messaging saying migration was completed. Then I reconfigured all the mail and certificates for SSL to show USA domain hosting.

Abroad Funeral Services Company Pattaya Thailand

Once things settle down I plan to make Abroad Funeral Thailand Website.

Don’t forget that Abroad Funeral Thailand is designed to take the worry and hassle from learning that a friend or family member has passed away in Thailand. What to do? where to start, who to call first? +66 8 0102 8978 do they speak English? Don’t waste time and just call us.

All is well now and so my apologies for any inconvenience –

My IT background saves the day

BTW my prior life I was the IT manager of Central Queensland University in Sydney NSW Australia and with this knowledge, I was able to fix this international issue. And so I hope something like this doesn’t happen to you as without technical knowledge it would be hard to diagnose the problem.

2 day problem with thai888.com email, now sorted.

Alzheimer’s or just getting old Thai888 Law Funeral

Alzheimer’s who will help out. How to make a Will directive for carers.
Thai888 Law knows what to do.

I tend to forget sometimes that I am dealing with real living people and their emotions and bodies. Making a Will or enforcing a Living Will after doing it hundreds of times makes it sometimes impersonal and robot-like. After all, it is a legal document. But for some they want their legacy to live on through a charity or helping their Thai partner, their family or sometimes even the gardener or the cook.

When a Will is made it normally stats that the person making it is of sound mind. However, my experience lately is that some of my clients have or are developing Alziemers. These people are elderly and living alone.

Alzheimer’s is a dreadful decease and most debilitating. And the worst is that each day it shows and the person forgets many things, even why they are in my office.

The disease gets to a point where the person needs 24-hour care. Care that is not really available in Thailand and so the person takes whatever assistance they can get. Someone to just be there in case.

The carer may mean well but they have no experience in looking after someone with Alzheimer’s. None.

I am not saying this of all carers but one client has an awful lot of money missing from their account. The carer was given the PIN number and access as sometimes the client cannot get out of bed and needs supplies. Each day several withdrawals have been made.

A lot of trust is needed here. It’s not easy and what else can one do in this situation?

If you know someone in this position then get them to make a Will whilst they are still competent.

Also, try to make them understand that someone needs to look after their accounts, someone trustworthy.

If the person has a large estate or more than 2 bank accounts, get them to start reducing all things down to a manageable size. 2 bank books – 1 fixed interest and the other day to day should be enough. And don’t forget the 800K in the bank for Immigration. And to go every 90 days and to apply for your visa every 12 months.

Not easy when you can’t remember much at all.

I did not ever expect this to be part of my job. However, I can help in a few ways. I am the controller of property for may clients, meaning that should something happen I can control the asset if it is for a person under 20 years old.

I can help if you have a Living Will or the Last Will and I am the Executor.

I cannot help if you have nothing in place and no next of kin.

Therefore I ask you to make a Will and make sure that a trusted 3rd party has your access codes and PIN numbers – and I don’t mean the gardener or the cook as the temptation is too great.

Please act on this before its too late. [email protected]

A tough time for all involved and particularly as Gordon Halpin AKA “Galloper” and his wife Judy were friend of over 8 years.

As friends, we assisted from the beginning at the hospital, with the insurance company from Australia, the Police, and used Thai888 Law to arrange the funeral, cremation, insurance claim, and Probate. It was a very big day and thanks to all our staff and friends for making it so.
