WHAT WE OFFER

Three services, shaped around where the executor stands

Whether you are at the beginning of the process, midway through an administration, or need someone to carry the work in full, there is a service suited to your position.

OUR APPROACH

How the work is conducted

Each matter begins with a written consultation — a short exchange in which the executor or family describes their situation and the firm confirms which service is appropriate. There is no charge for the initial assessment.

Once an instruction is accepted, the work proceeds in defined stages: document compilation, application preparation or executor briefing, registry or court liaison, and — where applicable — asset-holder correspondence and final distribution. A written progress note is issued at the close of each stage.

Decisions that affect the estate — choices about the timing of a court application, the sequence of asset-holder requests, or the handling of a registry query — are referred to the executor in writing before any step is taken. The firm does not proceed without the executor's knowledge.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Every probate application is reviewed internally before submission to check for completeness. This review reduces the frequency of registry queries — a common source of delay in otherwise uncomplicated matters.

TIMELINE EXPECTATIONS

A written estimate of the likely timeline is provided at the start of each instruction. Where court schedules affect the pace of the work, the executor is informed promptly and the estimate is updated accordingly.

LANGUAGE

Court submissions are in Thai as required; all client-facing documents, progress reports, and correspondence summaries are prepared in English as standard.
