What Sets Boran Legal Apart
The difference a considered approach makes to estate matters
Every element of how we work has been shaped by what families actually need during inheritance proceedings — not what is easiest to deliver.

Six Reasons Families Choose Boran Legal
These are not promises made loosely. They describe what is consistently true about how we work with every client.
Deep Familiarity with Thai Succession Law
Our team works exclusively in estate and inheritance matters. That focus means we encounter a wide range of situations and bring that accumulated understanding to each new engagement.
- Thai Civil and Commercial Code succession rules
- Probate court procedures in Bangkok
- Foreign nationals and cross-border estate matters
A Pace Decided by the Client
We do not push engagements forward on our schedule. Families dealing with loss or uncertainty need space, and Boran Legal provides that as a matter of course.
- No pressure to decide at initial consultation
- Flexible meeting schedule and communication channels
- Written summaries provided after each stage

- Probate Guidance Support from ฿10,800

What Each Benefit Means in Practice
Professional Expertise in Estate Law
Inheritance law in Thailand is not a peripheral subject for Boran Legal — it is the only subject. The team has worked through straightforward will reviews, multi-asset probate administrations, contested distributions among relatives, and cross-border matters involving nationals of several different countries. That range of experience means that when something unexpected arises, there is a considered basis for responding to it.
Practitioners also stay current with developments in Thai court practice and with the evolving body of guidance relevant to foreign nationals holding assets in Thailand. Clients benefit from advice that reflects how these matters are actually handled, not only how the statute reads.
Considerate Service Through Difficult Times
Most people come to Boran Legal because someone has died, or because they are trying to think ahead about what will happen when they or a loved one does. Neither of those contexts is comfortable, and neither should be treated as though it were a standard commercial transaction.
The practice has been deliberately kept small so that advisers have time for conversations that are not rushed. Clients are not moved toward a conclusion before they are ready, and they are not asked to absorb more information than they can manage at any one point.
Honest Value and Transparent Pricing
Estate legal fees in Bangkok vary widely and are not always clear in advance. Boran Legal sets fees before work begins and does not add to them without discussion. The three defined service tiers allow clients to understand the scope and cost of engagement before making any commitment.
For Full Estate Representation, where matters may be more variable, the scope and terms are written down and agreed openly at the outset. Clients know what they are entering into.
Outcomes That Reflect the Situation
Estate matters do not all end the same way, and Boran Legal does not describe outcomes in advance. What the practice does is provide the advice and representation needed for each situation to reach a clear resolution — one that the client has understood and had a genuine role in directing.
Families who have worked with Boran Legal regularly report that the process felt manageable, even when the underlying matter was complex. That is the outcome the practice measures itself against.
A Considered Look
How Our Approach Differs
A straightforward comparison between common patterns in general legal practice and how Boran Legal handles estate matters specifically.
| Feature | General Legal Practices | Boran Legal |
|---|---|---|
| Specialisation in inheritance and estate law | One of many practice areas | Only practice area |
| Fees agreed in writing before work begins | Often hourly, with estimates only | Fixed fees or written terms |
| Consistent named adviser throughout | Frequently changes between staff | Same adviser from start to finish |
| Bilingual English–Thai service | Variable; not always available | Standard across all engagements |
| Cross-border estate experience | Rarely within general practice scope | Handled regularly |
| Initial consultation with no obligation | Often billed or structured as a pitch | Open, unpressured conversation |
What You Won't Find Elsewhere
Distinctive Features of Our Practice
Plain-Language Written Summaries After Every Stage
At each milestone, clients receive a written summary of where things stand, what has been completed, and what comes next — in language that does not require a legal background to follow.
Support for the Whole Family, Not Just One Party
Where multiple family members are involved and share a common interest, Boran Legal can structure the engagement to keep everyone appropriately informed — without creating division or confusion about who the client is.
Remote Consultation Available from the Start
Initial reviews and document discussions can be conducted remotely for clients outside Bangkok or abroad, with video and secure document sharing available from the first meeting.
No Conflict of Interest Across Parties
Boran Legal does not represent opposing parties in the same estate matter. Where a conflict would arise, the firm advises clients clearly and will not take on the engagement in those circumstances.
