Can the Beneficiary Be Appointed as the Estate Administrator of My Will?

Summary

Yes, you can appoint a beneficiary as the estate administrator of your will under Thai law. The estate administrator is responsible for managing your assets, paying debts, and distributing property according to your wishes. Choosing a beneficiary for this role can simplify the process because they are already familiar with your intentions and have a personal interest in ensuring your wishes are honored. However, it is important to ensure that the beneficiary is capable and trustworthy enough to handle these responsibilities. Consulting with an estate planning lawyer is recommended to draft a clear and legally sound will and to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
