Why Ratchada
The Difference Considered Legal Support Makes
Not all legal practices approach inheritance matters the same way. Here is what we do differently, and why it matters to the families we work with.

A Closer Look
Professional Expertise
Ratchada's team has worked in Thai inheritance law for well over a decade. The Civil and Commercial Code, land registration procedures, probate court requirements, and the particular considerations around foreign-held assets are all areas the team knows thoroughly — not theoretically but through years of actual casework with Bangkok families.
- Licensed with the Lawyers Council of Thailand
- 15+ years of inheritance casework in Bangkok
- Regular professional development in Thai estate law

Our Three-Step Approach
We listen carefully to your situation before offering any direction.
We handle all documentation and liaison, keeping you informed at each step.
We remain available to answer questions even after a matter concludes.
Methodical Process
Every matter at Ratchada follows a documented internal process. This is not about bureaucracy — it is about making sure nothing is overlooked and that families never have to wonder whether something important has been missed. Our process has been refined over many years of handling estate matters of varying complexity.
- Documented step-by-step workflow for each service
- Clear milestone communication to the family
- Internal file review before any submission
Personal Service
Ratchada intentionally remains a small practice so that each family has meaningful personal attention. You will work with the same people throughout your matter. There are no handoffs mid-process, no junior staff fielding queries while senior staff are unavailable, and no situations where someone unfamiliar with your case picks up the phone.
- Named contact throughout each matter
- Consultations in English or Thai
- Flexible appointment scheduling
Value & Pricing
Our service fees are fixed and stated before any work begins. There are no hourly billing surprises.

What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive to Ratchada
Bilingual Service
We work fluently in both English and Thai, making our services fully accessible to the many international families living in or connected to Bangkok.
Cross-Border Experience
We have handled estate matters with elements in multiple jurisdictions, including estates where assets are held in Thailand and abroad simultaneously.
Accessible Appointments
We offer flexible scheduling including early morning and Saturday appointments, so families are not required to take time away from work to meet with us.
No Upselling
We recommend only what a family genuinely needs. An estate overview that finds no further action is required is a good outcome — and we say so.
