Why Somrak
What Matters Most
When Choosing Legal Help
Families handling estate and inheritance matters deserve more than competence alone — they deserve a practice that listens, communicates well, and respects the human dimension of the work.

Six Reasons Families Work With Somrak
Each reflects something we believe genuinely matters to families during estate proceedings in Thailand.
Experienced Legal Team
Our team has handled inheritance and estate matters in Thailand for over a decade. That depth of experience means fewer surprises and steadier handling of your matter.
Bilingual Service
We work fully in both English and Thai — documentation, correspondence, and all client communication. This matters particularly for international families with Thai-based assets.
Clear, Upfront Fees
Our service fees are stated clearly before any work begins. Third-party costs are explained before they arise. Families should never face unexpected charges at a difficult time.
Step-by-Step Guidance
We explain each stage of the legal process in plain language, before it happens. No assumptions about prior knowledge, no unexplained delays.
Consistent Point of Contact
You work with the same team throughout your matter — no being passed between unfamiliar advisors, no repeating yourself at each new conversation.
Confidential Handling
Estate matters involve personal and sometimes sensitive family information. We handle everything with discretion and maintain strict confidentiality throughout.
Professional Expertise in Thai Inheritance Law
Thai inheritance proceedings involve specific statutory provisions, court procedures, and documentation requirements that differ from those in many other jurisdictions. Our team has spent years developing depth in this area — knowledge that translates into less back-and-forth with authorities and fewer avoidable delays.
- Familiarity with the Thai Civil and Commercial Code
- Experience with multi-heir and cross-border matters
- Established working relationships with relevant authorities
Attentive, Family-Centred Service
We recognise that families come to us at a time of personal difficulty. Our approach is unhurried — we take time to understand what is needed, explain options clearly, and work at a pace that suits the family rather than one driven by administrative pressure.
- Responsive to enquiries within one working day
- Explanations in plain language, not legal shorthand
- Sensitive handling of family dynamics and differences
Transparent, Tiered Pricing
Our three service levels — Overview, Preparation & Filing, and Full Matter Support — are priced clearly, starting from ฿1,950. Families can choose the level of engagement that fits their needs and budget, with full knowledge of costs before anything begins.
- Written summary of fees before work starts
- No unexpected charges mid-matter
- Third-party costs flagged in advance
A Clear Path Through Complexity
Estate matters can feel intricate. Our role is to make the path clear — mapping out what needs to happen, in what order, and why. Families consistently tell us that knowing what comes next makes a significant difference to how the process feels.
- Matter roadmap shared at the outset
- Regular updates at meaningful milestones
- Explanations before, not after, each decision point

What Sets Us Apart
Our Distinctive Qualities
A Gentle First Step
Our Inheritance Overview service at ฿1,950 lets families understand their situation before committing to a fuller process — a thoughtful entry point that is rarely offered as a distinct service.
International Family Experience
We have particular experience supporting families where one or more members are based outside Thailand — coordinating across time zones, languages, and document requirements.
No Unnecessary Paperwork
We gather and prepare what is actually needed for your matter — without burdening families with redundant requests or duplicate documentation work.
Respectful Pace
We do not pressurise families into decisions or faster timelines than they are comfortable with. Estate matters resolve at the right pace for the family involved.
