Why Raksa
What Makes Working With Us Different
There are many legal practices in Phuket. We are not trying to be the largest or the fastest. We are trying to be the one a family trusts when the stakes feel personal.

Six Things You Can Count On
Qualified Legal Practitioners
All work carried out by registered Thai lawyers with relevant experience in estate and inheritance matters.
Plain Language, Always
We explain every step and every document in plain terms. Legal jargon stays on the paperwork, not in our conversations.
Transparent, Fixed Fees
Service fees are set out in writing before work begins. No unexpected additions, no billing surprises.
Thai & International Experience
Serving Thai nationals and foreign residents alike. We understand the legal distinctions that apply to each situation.
Consistent Communication
Families are updated at each stage. We do not go quiet between milestones, and we respond to questions promptly.
Sensitivity to the Circumstances
Inheritance work often follows loss. We approach every matter with awareness of the emotional weight families are carrying.
In More Detail
What Each Benefit Looks Like in Practice
Depth of Legal Expertise
The Thai Civil and Commercial Code governs inheritance in Thailand, but applying it to a real estate — with its mix of property titles, bank accounts, and sometimes cross-border assets — requires experience that goes beyond textbook knowledge.
Our senior counsel has handled inheritance matters in Thai courts for nearly two decades. That practical background shapes how we read a situation, anticipate complications, and advise families on options that are realistic rather than theoretical.
- Registered Thai lawyers, active standing
- Estate matters involving Thai and foreign nationals
- Court appearances when required
- Documentation prepared to Land Department standards
- Disputes handled with measured strategy
- Initial review before committing to a service
- Clear written scope before work begins
- Each document explained prior to signing
- Stage-by-stage progress updates
- Closure summary at the end of each matter
A Clear Process at Every Stage
One of the things families find most difficult about legal matters is not knowing what comes next. Our process is structured to remove that uncertainty. Before anything is filed, we map out the expected steps together.
This does not mean every matter proceeds exactly as planned — sometimes courts or authorities move at their own pace — but it does mean families are never left wondering where their matter stands.
Service Built Around the Family
Legal practices tend to be built around the needs of the case. We try to build around the needs of the people. That means offering consultations at times that work for the family, accommodating those managing from abroad, and slowing down when someone needs time to think.
Kullarat, our client liaison, is available to field questions between formal meetings so that families are never left holding a concern until the next scheduled call.
- In-person, telephone, or video consultation
- Dedicated liaison for ongoing questions
- Thai and English communication throughout
- Phuket office for those based locally
- Flexible scheduling across time zones
- Fixed fees for two of three services
- Written fee agreement before commencement
- All-inclusive service scope, no hidden additions
- Thai Baht pricing — no currency surprises
- Free initial enquiry by phone or email
Pricing That Families Can Plan Around
Legal fees can feel opaque. Hourly billing is difficult to estimate, and the final total often exceeds expectations. We have set fixed prices for our estate review and dispute assistance services so families can decide what they need without financial uncertainty.
For our full estate protection service, scope and pricing are agreed before any work begins. Nothing proceeds until the family is comfortable with the arrangement.

Distinctive Features
Things You Will Not Find Everywhere
Plain-Terms Glossary
We maintain a working glossary that explains Thai inheritance terms in everyday language. It is shared with clients at the start of each matter so that nothing in the documentation feels unfamiliar or confusing.
Cross-Border Familiarity
Many Phuket estates involve assets, beneficiaries, or questions that span more than one jurisdiction. We have worked through these situations before and can identify where specialist input from another country may be needed.
No Pressure on Timelines
We do not create urgency where none exists. Families are given time to consider options. Our advice is presented as information, not direction — the decisions are always yours to make.
Remote Consultation Available
For families managing a Thai estate from abroad, we offer video consultations that cover the same ground as an in-person meeting. Documents can be shared securely ahead of each call.
