This bilingual Thai–English Last Will template is designed for use in Thailand and includes a limited-jurisdiction clause (covering assets located in Thailand only). It is drafted in line with Section 1656 of Thailand’s Civil and Commercial Code: a Will made in writing, dated at the time of making, and signed by the testator before at least two witnesses who also sign to certify the testator’s signature. Use it to set out asset distribution, appoint executors, and add guardianship or funeral wishes.
