How We Work

A clear process before anything begins

Every engagement with Suwan Counsel follows the same initial steps, regardless of which service is involved. This is deliberate — it ensures that both client and counsel have a shared understanding of what is needed, what will happen, and what it will cost.

We do not begin work until this is settled in writing. It is not unusual for a client to come to us with one question and discover, through the initial conversation, that their situation calls for a slightly different approach. The initial consultation is always included at no charge.

01

Initial conversation

A free, unhurried discussion of your situation — by phone, email, or in person. No commitment required.

02

Written scope and fee

A written outline of what we will do, what we will not do, and the exact cost. Agreed before any work begins.

03

Document preparation and review

We handle all document preparation, court or land office filings, and correspondence — keeping you informed throughout.

04

Completion and handover

Final documents, plain-language summary notes, and a clear record of what was done — for your files.

Will and Wishes Review service

Service 01

Will & Wishes Review

A gentle review of an existing will, or a fresh start for those who have none. We explain the essentials clearly and prepare a complete, valid draft that reflects your intentions. The process is private, unhurried, and straightforward.

This service is suited to anyone who wants their affairs in order — whether planning ahead, reviewing something prepared long ago, or approaching a situation for the first time.

What is included

  • Initial consultation to understand your wishes
  • Drafted or reviewed will document, Thai law compliant
  • Plain-language summary notes explaining each provision
  • Guidance on correct witnessing and storage

Fixed fee

฿4,500

Probate and Dispute Support service

Service 03

Probate & Dispute Support

Steady support through the probate process, and calm, advisory assistance where an inheritance matter is contested. Both aspects are handled with discretion and at a pace that respects the family involved. We outline costs clearly at each stage so there are no surprises.

This service is suited to families managing an estate following a loss, executors navigating the court and land office process, and situations where a distribution is in question. We assess disputed matters honestly from the outset and advise on whether resolution is achievable without litigation.

What is included

  • Full probate administration, court filing and oversight
  • Land Office coordination for asset transfers
  • Advisory support for contested distributions
  • Written cost outline at each stage of the matter
