What If a Thai Spouse Leaves Real Estate to a Foreigner in a Will?

[@AnthonyAnthony158]

What happens if the couple have a child together, who has Thai nationality but is not yet an adult and can't own land?

Thank you!

I know a guy who's wife died the brother fronted up to claim and kicked him out

Good info. A subject that most don't like to think about but a will could save a lot of additional stress. What would be the approximate cost of a will for a Thai citizen and also for a foreign national?

[@ricklenegan2294]

Does Thailand have any system akin to U.S. Trusts? It would be a Thai entity that owns the land instead of the heir.

Leave a right to live there or to lease instead.

Would it be a problem if the foreigner had managed to gain thai citizenship?

[@pejfectlife]

Then you are a Thai Citizen, and are allowed to own land. Solved the problem completely.

Doable but only truly if you are younger, married and working in Thailand.
