Navigating Thailand's Property Inheritance Laws for Foreigners
Foreign property owners in Thailand face specific inheritance considerations. Condominium ownership passes to heirs according to the deceased's will or Thai intestate laws if no will exists. Leasehold contracts may or may not allow inheritance, depending on their specific terms. Thai law recognizes foreign wills if properly notarized and translated, but the probate process can be lengthy. Joint ownership structures don't automatically bypass inheritance procedures. Tax implications vary based on property value and heir relationship, with spouse and children receiving favorable rates. Estate planning should account for potential dual taxation in home countries.
