Question 1

Petition a Thai court for an estate administrator: Assets or registered rights are located in Thailand

Accepted Answer

The competent court, plus land office or banks by asset type. Variable with court schedules and heir complexity. Foreign death certificates or wills not legalised and translated to court standard

Question 2

Use a foreign grant, then legalise it for use in Thailand: The main probate already runs abroad

Accepted Answer

The foreign court/authority plus consular legalisation. Variable — allow several weeks for cross-border certification. Some foreign orders are not directly binding and still need a Thai step

Question 3

Power of attorney to a representative in Thailand: Heirs cannot travel

Accepted Answer

Thai mission or a notary abroad, then legalisation in Thailand. Variable with the foreign certification chain. Powers drafted too narrowly block specific transactions and must be redone
