The Challenge
สามีอเมริกันเสียชีวิตทิ้งคอนโด + บัญชี Bangkok Bank ฿120M ต้องผ่าน US Probate → Apostille → ศาลไทย Probate
This case required tight coordination between Thai authorities (district office, MFA, สหรัฐอเมริกา embassy) and destination authorities. Any formatting error would cause rejection and restart of the entire chain.
Our Solution
Our attorneys and certified translators designed an end-to-end workflow:
1. ประสาน California Probate Attorney ขอ Letters Testamentary 2. Apostille ที่ California Secretary of State 3. แปล EN→TH + MFA 4. ยื่นคำร้องตั้งผู้จัดการมรดกที่ศาลแพ่งกรุงเทพ 5. โอนกรรมสิทธิ์คอนโด + ปิดบัญชี
Every step is QA-reviewed by licensed Notary Public attorneys before MFA and embassy submission — bringing rework rate to 0%.

Key metrics: Estate ฿120M · Timeline 5 เดือน · Tax Saved ฿8M
