What clients say
Accounts from clients across different service types and family circumstances.
William Cartwright
British national, Bangkok
"I came to Sampatti Legal not knowing what I actually owned in Thailand, or what would happen to it if I were no longer here. The inventory process was patient and thorough — the team worked through everything over two sessions and produced a document I could actually understand. It has since been genuinely useful in conversations with my family."
April 2025 — Asset Inventory Documentation
Pranee Suksomboon
Thai national, Chiang Mai
"After my father passed, the family was uncertain about what steps were needed for the properties he held. Sampatti Legal took charge of the administration and explained each step in writing as it was completed. We did not have to chase for information. The final report was clear and the process felt managed throughout, which was a relief during a difficult time."
March 2025 — Multi-Asset Estate Administration
Markus Neumann
German national, Phuket
"The succession review was exactly what I needed. I had a will prepared some years ago and was not certain it still reflected what I intended, particularly after adding a second property. The report from Sampatti Legal set out the current position clearly, without any attempt to push me towards further services. I found that refreshing."
February 2025 — Property Succession Review
Siriporn Lertpipat
Thai national, Bangkok
"We asked Sampatti Legal to compile an inventory for my mother as a starting point, with no particular urgency — she simply wanted to have a clear record while she was still able to participate in the process. The team was patient and thorough, and my mother found the sessions comfortable. The document they produced is well-organised and will be very useful to us in time."
January 2025 — Asset Inventory Documentation
Richard Tan
Singaporean national, Bangkok
"Having held property in Thailand for some years, I wanted a straightforward review of where my succession position stood, particularly in relation to a condominium I hold in my own name. The team produced a report that addressed this specifically and clearly, and also noted a point about my will that I had not considered. Good value for the stated fee."
December 2024 — Property Succession Review
Apinya Pongpanich
Thai national, Pattaya
"The estate my family needed to administer included residential land, a savings account, and several items of personal property. Sampatti Legal managed the whole process — including coordination with the Land Department — and kept my siblings and I informed at every step by written note. We never needed to call to find out what was happening."

Case studies
Three examples of the kind of matters we assist with, presented in general terms to illustrate the range and approach of our work.
CASE STUDY 01 — PROPERTY SUCCESSION REVIEW
The situation
A retired couple from the United Kingdom, long-term residents of Bangkok, held a condominium unit in the wife's name and had a joint will prepared in the UK. They were uncertain whether the UK will was enforceable in respect of Thai-held property, or what would happen to the condominium if either of them passed.
The work
Sampatti Legal reviewed the UK will, the condominium title documentation, and the applicable provisions of Thai succession law. A written report was produced setting out how the property would be treated under Thai law and where the existing arrangements left gaps.
The outcome
The couple received a clear written picture of their position. The report identified that a separate Thai will would be necessary to achieve their intended outcome. Work on that document was handled by their own choice, with the succession review report serving as the briefing document.
CASE STUDY 02 — ASSET INVENTORY DOCUMENTATION
The situation
A Thai national in her late sixties, with three adult children in different parts of the country, had accumulated property over several decades. She had no existing inventory or record, and her family had no clear picture of what she held or where the relevant documents were kept.
The work
Two sessions were held over several weeks, working through the client's holdings systematically — residential property, a savings account, a fixed deposit, a vehicle, and a collection of jewellery. Each item was recorded with its current standing and the location of relevant documents.
The outcome
The client and her family received a well-organised written inventory they could use as a reference. She later said it had reduced what she described as a source of persistent worry, and that her children now knew what to look for and where. The document remains on file for revision if needed.
CASE STUDY 03 — MULTI-ASSET ESTATE ADMINISTRATION
The situation
An estate included two residential properties, a commercial unit, a joint bank account, and several smaller personal items. The appointed administrator was a son living in Australia who was unfamiliar with Thai land administration procedures and unable to travel for extended periods.
The work
Sampatti Legal compiled the full estate inventory, coordinated with the Land Department in relation to each property, liaised with the bank regarding the joint account, and drafted the necessary documents for each category. Written progress notes were sent to the administrator and to the two other beneficiaries at each stage of the work.
The outcome
The administration was completed over a period of four months. The administrator required only two visits to Thailand — one at the outset and one to conclude. The beneficiaries described the process as considerably more manageable than they had expected at the start.
