What happens when you die as an UK ex pat living in Thailand..does the Thai authorities inform the British Embassy in Bangkok who in turn inform UK embassy and HMRC and private pensions..the reason I ask is I have a Thai wife and 6 month son..my police pension people have my Thai wife as beneficiary when I die..but I need to know who needs informing in UK and what docs they need eg Thai death certificate translated..I live in rural Issan (only ferang) I have given my police pension info to my Australian brother in law in Melbourne who is married to my wifes sister so in the event of my death he can contact the pension department ..I have sent an enquiry form to the pension dept re this but after 5 weeks received no reply..I am 64 and hope to live a lot longer however no one knows..just want to know my wife and son are going to be ok if the worse happens. Thanks in advance stay safe
