TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion focuses on the process for a foreign girlfriend to inherit vehicles (a car and a scooter) from a deceased foreign man in Thailand. Key points include the need for documentation proving her status as an heir, the possible existence of a will, and considerations regarding vehicle registration transfer. While some suggest that she can manage without an agency by obtaining necessary documents, others emphasize that an agent might be needed for a smoother process.

When “Farang” who’s the owner of car and bike died that’s car & bikes will be to the heirs of he or she. In this case she’s need investigation heirs documents from officials that prove they don’t need car and bike. Then with the other documents and transfer.

As long that she has the book,she can pay the roadtax and insurance.no problem.

She only needs the name changed if she wants the bikes in her name!!
