ORIGINAL POSTER

Is there anyone around who knows about about the

legal bases and issues of guardianship and power of attorney in Thailand? Speaking powers of attorney for health care and succession declarations. My partner and me gave each other such notarized rights in Germany and would like them to be valid in Thailand as well, to be prepared in event of a serious emergency... Anyone ever dealt with such documents (or their notarized translation?) which shall be valid in Thailand?

The user seeks to understand if their notarized documents from Germany can be recognized in Thailand. Respondents suggest consulting the embassy or a lawyer for tailored legal advice, as it pertains to legal issues rather than visas.

I believe you need to consult with your nations Embassy or a Lawyer. Also post your question on Thaivisa.com. Someone there may reply.

As this is not Thai Visa Advice related, I close commenting.

I don't think this is Thai visa related. I suggest contacting your embassy and getting a list of lawyers who can help
