What happens to property ownership if I, a foreigner married to a Thai citizen, die before my wife?

If you buy it in her name get a 30 year lease in your name.

Nothing u can do. Any najor purchase here that involves a thai having to be added to title means that YOU MADE A GIFT AND HAVE ZERO RIGHTS. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS. We can own nothing here. It isba process that makes us think we can but it is a fallacy. We own nothing. U are not handsome or fun to be with. You are a provider of assets and hopefully u will not live too long and get in the way.

You die happy?

Wills can be written by yourself as long as they are witnessed by two people who are not beneficiaries.

Its a fallacy that they need to be done by solicitor

Then you dont need to worry ,solve the problem

I thought in Thailand, that foreigners could not own property. Or maybe that’s land. I have a friend who is married to a Thai woman and he is American. She just bought a house and she will own it even though they are married. He is going to do the reinnovating. He is older, so I think he is banking on the possibility that he will die first. She will take care of him as he gets older and then she will get everything when he dies.

Nothing

She'll be happy

That’s the Game plan for most Thai women marrying farangs …

Don't consult an attorney.... Ask Facebook

Sorry but she will always be 51%, so make sure she's a keeper if not maybe you can help her family move in with you. Lol

Your dead not your problem anymore 555

Same question from me...but my thai wife has no children. What if she passes on first? Also, my thai wife, who is concerned about meters, got advice for her to give me a 99 year lease since the house will be in her name. That way I can still live there after she passes. We will buy a home in July. I'm not worried about my thai in-laws, who are all professionals, taking my property...but just to protect me.

If you are worried about who gets what, then you need to hire a lawyer and let him advise what you can or can’t do. I recommend that he draws up separate wills for you and your wife. There are plenty of Farang lawyers working in Thailand and I can recommend the lawyer I used.

This is the best advise you will get if you are worried about outcomes

You will be dead so it won't matter but you can always have chat GPT make up a will for you and just have it signed and notarized.

Why worry you will no longer be with us

If you have this kind of concern, mean you not really want to buy it, just rent it

Who will look after the sick Buffalo 🦬🦬 after you die?

Well that's pretty obvious.

Incorrect. What happens depends on your wifes will and your will.

Leave it to Buddha. 5555

Does it really matter? Your dead??

As foreigners, we can buy a condo 100 percent. We cannot buy a house though as we aren't allowed to own any land. A will is a good option too to protect yourself as well.

Rent everything including the woman.

What does you will say ❓

Well it's good that you are the one who's married to your Thai wife and nobody else. That's a good start! 👌

Love it when people ask for a legal advice from a bunch of strangers on FB...

You should be worried if you're wife die first, you will not allowed to stay in Thailand you at some short time will have to leave Thailand or get a different visa, if this is right as i understand the Thailand law ,or do ihave it wrong???,,

Die and finish 💔 😢 whoever takes your part... doesn't matter ..

Here's a good read: It seems to suggest that, if all your ducks are in a row & you file notice within 60 days, you'll have a year to dispose of the condominium. However, I am NOT a lawyer & might possibly be misreading the short article. Still, it's worth a look.

I want to please my younger thai wife/ girlfriend.??

JUST RENT..WHAT HAPPENS IF THE RELATION IS OVER ?.

Make a will.

Don't listen to the garbage just hire a lawyer

Rent!

When she dies first, 0% goes to you. Same same when you die. All goes to the thai family. 🤷‍♂️

If you both die together the children takes all

If you die first, all the martial properties and assets will go to your spouse, unless you had an will drafted that said otherwise. Also please note, a will cannot override the thai law, i.e, if you paid 100% for the house, you cannot claim 100% of the house after you die because that's against the Thai law. You'll only be able to claim 50% of the house.

Hence visit a lawyer and both you and your spouse should get a will drafted.

If you purchase the house on a loan or mortgage, be sure to get a life insurance with coverage equal to the price of the house. So that in case you die, your spouse won't be burdened with paying the mortgage, instead the life insurance will pay for it.

Don’t buy property just keep renting

You own nothing here.

Brown bread

I would go to laywer and write a heritage document.

No problem for you

Make a will. Not expensive

Thai law; your immediate relatives such as mother / father and children entitled to your shares. With a will assets divided accordingly.

Then everything goes to your wife, unless you have made a will.
