I need to make a will that's valid in the UK, anyone have any recommendations of a solicitor in Bangkok that can help.
Answer summary
The conversation revolves around finding solicitors in Bangkok who can help with creating a valid will for UK citizens. Recommendations include Siam Legal International and various online services. There is also a discussion about the validity of a UK will once relocating to Thailand, confirming that a UK will remains valid unless a new will is created.

Does anyone know if my UK Will would still be valid when we move to Thailand or should I have another one drawn up when settled in Thailand?

, Your will in the UK is valid regardless of where you live. It is only cancelled out by a later will.

Then I suggest you stick with a U.K. lawyer or do it through online guidance yourself. Signed in front of witnesses it’s valid in the U.K.

There are online services that would make it easier and cheaper. But I'm not an expert. Just 2 cents worth

I got my UK solicitor to send me my will by email. I signed it with witness x 2.

Sent it back to UK keeping a copy for myself.

You can get free guidance on the UK Age Concern website .
