Client Reviews
In Their Own Words
Siriporn Maneekan
Bangkok, Thailand
"My father passed without a clear will, and I had no idea where to start. The adviser at Boran Legal was calm and thorough — she walked me through the situation without making me feel rushed or foolish. The written summary she gave me after our first meeting was genuinely useful. It took about four months to reach resolution, which was longer than I hoped, but they were honest about timing from the start."

Robert Hargreaves
British national, resident in Chiang Mai
"I came to Boran Legal after trying two other firms who seemed mainly interested in moving quickly and charging by the hour. Boran Legal were different — they explained each step clearly before taking it, and the bilingual service meant nothing got lost. I could have done without the delays caused by the court's own schedule, but that is nothing to do with Boran Legal's work."

Kanya Thongchai
Samut Prakan, Thailand
"Our situation involved three siblings with very different views about our mother's estate. Boran Legal took the time to understand what each of us was actually concerned about, not just what we were saying. They helped us reach an arrangement that all three of us could accept, without it becoming adversarial. The full representation service is not cheap, but it was worth it for the outcome."

Philippe Lebrun
French national, Bangkok resident
"My wife passed and her estate here was more complicated than I had understood — property, accounts, a family business share. I had no idea how to begin. Boran Legal explained the Thai legal framework patiently and helped me understand what I would need to handle in France and what applied here. They coordinated between both jurisdictions effectively."

Wichaya Sombatpan
Bangkok, Thailand
"I came for the Will & Estate Review to check a will I had already drafted myself. The adviser pointed out two things I had not considered — one quite significant — and gave me a written note to take away. It cost ฿7,300, which was reasonable for the clarity it gave me. I did not feel any pressure to upgrade to a larger service, which I appreciated."

Amara Nopkasem
Nonthaburi, Thailand
"My family was in a difficult position — a disputed inheritance with relatives overseas. The adviser from Boran Legal kept everything documented clearly and communicated with the other parties in a way that was firm but not hostile. I felt informed throughout, not just at the end. The matter was resolved, which was all I could reasonably have asked for."

Case Summaries
Three Matters, Outlined
These summaries are composites to protect privacy, but accurately reflect the kinds of situations Boran Legal handles and how they typically unfold.
A Bangkok property estate, no will present
3 monthsThe Situation
The deceased, a Thai national, had owned a property in Bangkok and held several bank accounts, but had not prepared a will. Two adult children were listed as heirs, but neither was clear on the process or what documentation was needed.
What Boran Legal Did
Conducted a will & estate review to confirm the intestate position, then provided probate guidance support. Prepared the court petition for administrator appointment, compiled records from three financial institutions, and handled Land Department liaison for the property transfer.
How It Resolved
The matter concluded within three months. Both heirs understood what they had inherited and how the assets had been transferred. No court disputes arose. The family described the process as less stressful than they had expected.
"We did not know where to start. By the end, we understood everything clearly."
A foreign national's estate with cross-border assets
5 monthsThe Situation
A European national resident in Bangkok for over twenty years had died, leaving assets in Thailand including a leasehold property, vehicle, and two accounts. The sole heir was a sibling based in Germany with no familiarity with Thai legal procedures.
What Boran Legal Did
Provided full estate representation. Coordinated with a German legal contact to obtain apostilled documentation, handled the Thai probate court application, and managed all local authority interactions on behalf of the overseas heir through authorised representation.
How It Resolved
The estate was concluded over five months, with the heir able to handle the matter entirely remotely. All Thai assets were transferred or repatriated. The heir visited Thailand only once, briefly, for a required appearance arranged with as much notice as possible.
"I was in Germany, grieving, and had no idea what was involved in Thailand. They handled it."
A contested distribution between siblings
8 monthsThe Situation
Three siblings had differing views on the division of a parent's estate, which included rural land, business assets, and personal effects. One sibling had been managing the estate informally and the others had concerns about how it had been handled.
What Boran Legal Did
Provided full estate representation to two of the three siblings. Prepared a detailed account of the estate's position, engaged with the third party's representatives, and assisted in reaching a mediated agreement through structured discussions without proceeding to full court proceedings.
How It Resolved
A written agreement was reached over eight months that all three siblings signed. The family relationship, while strained, remained intact. No judgment was required. Both siblings who engaged Boran Legal expressed satisfaction with the outcome and the process.
"It could have become very damaging. The outcome we reached was fair, and we reached it without going to court."
