Ensuring Your Legacy: Making a Testament in Thailand
In certain circumstances, according to Thai law such as the imminent danger of death or, if the person is not allowed to make this will, the person can create the will only in words, without the need for it to be written.
According to Thai law, a person can also perform a holographic test, which is a testament written entirely by the testator himself, where the date and signature of the person requesting the creation of a will are specified.
By making a testament, it is the mandatory presence of at least two witnesses and course administrators, these can be Thai or foreign citizens.
However, when making a will, the next person cannot be present after a will as a witness:
- minors
- people who are not mentally healthy, or incompetent
- deaf, dumb, or blind people
- the beneficiary of the last will and the husband or wife of this person
These criteria work equally well with the administrators
