APAC south east Asian Business Award 2021 — Humble beginnings

Thai888 Law started off as a small business venture has now become 2 companies working together under the same management to streamline the legal issues that come with a foreigner passing away in Thailand. This allows clients to make 1 phone call to arrange all things to do with hospitals police morgue funeral embassy court probate. This unique model has evolved over many years as Thai888 Law began with 1 rented office and 1 staff member. Now our 2 offices has qualified legal and accounting staff that completed their degrees whilst working for Thai888.

Many of our clients living in Thailand make Living and Last Wills with us and unfortunately many pass away and in the old days we would outsource the funeral to Monkhouse Funerals. Various problems ensued with this system and to better manage this we registered Abroad Funerals Pattaya. With side by side offices we can arrange and manage everything all the way through to court grants and sending the assets back to the families. No other company does this in Thailand and reviews on our website show 5 stars and thankful messages from clients that also became friends during these stressful times.

Thai888 Law began with criminal, civil, company, consumer and family LAW and now we have several experts to focus your enquiries. If you like its a one stop for all your needs and our fees are on the lower side.

Our CEO is an Australian and speaks English and has international experience with many countries and their probate laws.

An in house Notary service for when countries require you sign docs in front of a Lawyer is available. We have 2 offices and 12 qualified staff, our offices are easily access as there is handicapped parking and ramps. We hope to see you soon. [email protected]

How to make a bad Will Thai888 Law

How to write a bad Will
Its easy
Idiots guide to Will writing

Pattaya widow warns about amateur wills

Writing a Will that will stand up in court is not as easy as you think

The story is all to familiar in that a person to save a few bucks writes the Will themselves.

There are very specific legal terms like Testator, Beneficiary, Executor, Witnesses and if you dont know what they mean then dont write your own Will

Many English have accounts in the neighbouring countries to try to avoid the dreaded “Death Duties ” taxes of the United Kingdom and so in wanting to get the most return on money people save it in a tax haven country like the Isle of Man, Sheffield, Singapore, Hong Kong etc.

However the tax man has great patients and can wait until you die. Then the document you wrote comes into play to get the assets you worked so hard for and saved.

If the docs are not correct then your Beneficiary cannot get any of the assets you worked and saved. These offshore banks sit there while the Beneficiary or the Executor make challenges to get the money. They do not have to work with you and may ignore you.

It may take years.

You definitely will need legal assistance as there are many forms designed to find all the money and assets anywhere in the WORLD.

When writing your Will you should be aware of keeping assets in each country in a seperate Will – its not that expensive and will save thousands in legal bills and TAX.

Make an appointment to see me asap. [email protected]

I am English speaking Australian making life easier for you

Thai888 Probate Law, Murphy’s Law & International Law

Thai888 Law & Abroad Funerals Pattaya Thailand Kelvin Bamfield and Dr Ren Lexander PCEC

The Law and what can go wrong.

Kelvin Bamfield of Thai888 Law & Abroad Funerals Pattaya Thailand. On the 22nd Sept 2019, I gave a presentation at the Pattaya City Expats Club PCEC, on dying and Probate Law. 4 case studies were looked at to show how not only Thai Laws but international laws are involved.

The presentation can be seen here. As the disclaimer says these cases have had the names and places changed to not be connected to any person living or dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvSJPUaLcU

Abroad Funerals is our newest venture in streamlining the system. Have been in this business for several years we have introduced many systems and standard operating procedures. This results in less time and money spent on running around double handling all the tasks. All you need to do is make a call or email, chat, LINE, Skype, Whatsapp to us and we can guide you through the whole process from making a Will to the funeral.

Beware of hidden costs

Abroad Funerals get many calls regarding the price. Many will tell you an extremely low price and you may commit to this. However, there are many costs that you will know about later on. Police, Embassy, Morgue, transport, fees. Then the temple has 1, 4, or 9 monks, flowers, casket, wreaths, ceremony, electricity, water for guests, flowers, incense, etc. After, there are court fees to get a grant, Embassy fees for translation, courier fees.

Together Thai888 Law & Abroad Funerals saves money

Most importantly it makes sense to give a small quotation fee in the beginning, however the costs will add up. Because when people hear 60,000 baht they are shocked but this is approx 1500 GBP or 1900 USD or 2800 AUD for everything regarding the Funeral costs. This is way below the cost of another country. Therefore, I guarantee you will save time and money by using our services.

Some info from Thai888 Law on Probate, dying, last and Living Will 2019

Work permit Thailand Thai888 Law 2018

Trying to get some more news on this as it doesn’t seem to be gazetted yet.

From Phuket gazzete

on 27 March 2018, the Emergency Decree on Non-Thais’ Working Management (No.2) (2018) (“Decree No. 2”) was issued. Decree No. 2 amended Decree No. 1.

Section 70 of Decree No. 1 (and the Act) provided that “a person who is granted permission for working may not carry out the work of the type, with the employer, in a locality or on any working condition that is different from that specified in their work permit unless permission under Section 71 is obtained.”

Section 71 of Decree No. 1 (and the Act) provided that “a person who is granted permission for working, and who intends to change or add the following particulars, must obtain permission from the Registrar: (1) type of work (2) employer (3) location or (4) working conditions.”

And Section 73 of Decree No. 1 (and the Act) provided that “no person may allow a foreigner to work in a manner different from the requirements specified in the work permit.”

However, and very significantly, Section 37 of Decree No. 2 repealed Sections 70, 71, and 73 of Decree No. 1.

Furthermore, Section 28 of Decree No. 2 provides that a work permit holder may engage in any work that is not specifically prohibited to all foreigners on the “Official List” of work prohibited to foreigners.

Guiding you through the funeral and repatriation process and Probate where the Will and the Executor is approved by the Thai courts to later repatriate your body, ashes and assets back to your home country.

Thai888 Law has been doing this for many years and were associated with Allison Monkhouse Australia – Sadly Monkhouse is no more and so Thai888 takes this responsibility.

BTW our CEO is an Australian and so there are no language issues. In fact he receives many inquiries from all around the World and works mainly on international probate issues.

If you have never experienced probate then you are fortunate as it can be a very lengthy, frustrating, stressful event. That is why Thai888 Law has 2 offices creating a one stop office to handle all your needs and issues.

Many times clients make a few calls and we do everything from start to finish, as some relatives are old or sick or to tied up in their work to travel to Thailand. On top of that they don’t know the language and will need our services for law and translation anyway. This is why we have built a solid reputation for dealing with all these issues. A few calls and all is done.

A 5 star rating on Google shows this.

Thai888 Law Probate Q&A at the Pattaya City Expats Club PCEC 2018

From Wills to Probate

I did a presentation at the Pattaya City Expats Club on Sunday regarding Probate and the pitfalls.

As soon as the video is available I will post it as there was some good facts in there and 4 case studies on what can go wrong with Wills and Probate.

Thai888 Law is now a complete office for making Wills, arranging funerals and cremations, applying to the courts for a Grant of Probate, repatriating funds back to the Beneficiaries.

The last 3 clients did not even come to Thailand and simply instructed us via email, SKYPE, phone to carry out their wishes. Family and friends can not always come to Thailand to arrange things and so we make sure everything is taken care of.

Embassy, hospital, release letters, translations from the Dept of Foreign Affairs, bank accounts, selling assets, selling house and condominiums are some of the issues we control from our 2 offices.

Thai888 Law and working with us via the internet

Thai888 Law had recent referrals from the UK Embassy to help out on foreigners that have unfortunately died in Thailand.

Due to family commitments or financial issues families and friends could not come to Thailand to manage the funeral and cremation of their loved ones.

A few phone calls to get their LINE Skype Messenger or Whats-app account then put us together and talking for as long as it took to resolve issues. Virtually free!!

Family then asks for an invoice to show whats necessary and the costs.

Once the money has been transferred into our account then we can start work with the Police, Morgue, Hospital, Embassy etc.

This has proved very efficient over the past 10 days.

Apart from the emotional aspect of a family member dying there are cost and if these can be minimized

deceased 2018 — Thai888 Law can assist if you need to get a funeral or cremation done in Thailand and cannot come here.

all the better.
