Why Legal Action Must Occur in Thailand
International clients often ask why they must pursue a will challenge in Thailand. Thai law usually governs if the deceased person lived permanently in Thailand (domicile). It also applies if they possessed substantial assets here before passing. Therefore, beneficiaries or challengers must take formal court action in Thailand. This applies regardless of where they live. Contesting the Last Will’s validity happens within the Thai judicial system.
