Have a look at the types of services we offer below and let us know how we can assist you.
Real Estate Buying & Sale
The real estate market in Thailand can be complex and challenging to deal with. Aphiwat Law simplifies this process, ensuring every step of your property transaction is seamless. We offer legal assistance with the following:
Title Searches and Due Diligence
We conduct thorough investigations into a property’s ownership to establish who the rightful owner is, so that you are not tricked by dishonest sellers. To protect your interests, we also check property records to see if there are any unpaid debts, legal disputes, or issues with zoning rules.
Drafting and Reviewing Sale & Purchase Agreements
Our skilled real estate lawyers draft agreements that not only safeguard your interests but also comply with Thai legal requirements. We also review every agreement to ensure that all terms and conditions are clear and fair, minimizing the possibility of legal disputes.
Ownership Transfers at the Land Office
Transferring property ownership can be overwhelming because of the lengthy processes and strict document requirements. We cooperate with the Land Office to facilitate a smooth and efficient transfer, ensuring all legal requirements are met without unnecessary delays.
Legal Guidance for Foreign Buyers
With strict property laws governing foreign ownership in Thailand, understanding your rights and limits is critical. We provide clear, legally sound guidance tailored to foreign buyers, helping you acquire property in Thailand legally.
Usufruct and Superficies
Whether it’s preparing agreements for use of property or land by foreigners, setting up a 30-year rental contract, or drafting deeds for gifting, we create valid legal documents to fit your specific needs.
We ensure every transaction is conducted with transparency, in accordance with the law, and with your best interests at heart.
Notary Services
If you need help with important legal documents, our notary services ensure your papers meet all the legal standards, whether they’re required locally or internationally. We are ready to help you with:
Witnessing and Certifying Documents
We will certify true copies of your original documents and witness any signatures to ensure that you comply with the law. We follow all legal requirements to deliver valid legal documents.
Affidavits and Declarations
We assist clients in confirming important statements or claims by creating sworn affidavits. When these legal documents are properly prepared, they are accepted in courts and professional settings.
Certified Copies of Official Records
We will help you with certifying copies of essential records, such as academic certificates or personal identification. These copies maintain their legal credibility, whether you present them locally or internationally.
Last Will and Testament
Planning your estate is very important when it comes to securing your family’s future. We draft clear, valid wills to ensure your property is distributed according to your wishes. We work with you to address your specific needs and reduce potential disputes among those you wish to leave your property to.
Probate and Estate Administration
When it comes to fulfilling legal obligations after someone passes, we provide compassionate and precise guidance. This includes applying to court for authorization to deal with the deceased’s property, managing any due debts and taxes, and ensuring all property is distributed smoothly.
Elder Law
The needs of the aging population and their families often require a sensitive, yet legally sound approach. Our elder law services provide the support necessary to manage these challenges effectively. We will assist you with:
Healthcare and Long-Term Care Planning
We help you plan your future healthcare in a way that follows the law and puts your needs first. From nursing home preparations to health insurance benefits, we help ensure continuity of care while minimizing financial strain on your behalf.
Appointment of a Guardian
At Aphiwat Law, we understand that health issues such as mental illness, or other related factors may affect one’s legal competency. In Thailand, a legal guardian has to be appointed in such cases to manage their personal, financial and other affairs. If your loved one has unfortunately lost their competence, we can help you file an application in court to pronounce their incompetency and have a guardian, often a family member, officially appointed to act on their behalf. We will file the necessary paperwork and ensure that this is done on time.
Living Wills
We help you create a valid living will, which is a legal document that specifies your wishes regarding medical treatment and life-support options. This document acts as a guide for both medical professionals and loved ones, ensuring your wishes are respected all the way.
Asset Protection and Addressing Elder Financial Abuse
We use effective legal strategies to keep your finances secure and protect your property from risks like elder financial abuse or expensive care. We do this by offering services like estate planning to help preserve your wealth and legacy.
Through a compassionate and informed approach, we prioritize care, clarity, and respect for your loved ones.
Labour and Employment Law
Dealing with employer-employee relationships often requires specialized legal advice. Aphiwat Law offers sound legal advice for both employees and employers, and helps ensure compliance with Thailand labour law. We will help you with:
Employee Rights and Unfair Termination Claims
From securing fair compensation to addressing unfair termination claims, we will help you pursue your rights. Our experienced lawyers also assist in cases of workplace discrimination, harassment, and unfair labour practices, offering tailored solutions based on the particulars of each case.
Employment Contract Review and Drafting
Well-structured employment contracts help businesses avoid disputes, while ensuring employee agreements are fair and lawful. We ensure that contracts align with Thai labour standards so that both employers and employees are protected.
Workplace Conflict Resolution
Dealing with workplace disputes? We offer mediation services to resolve these issues and create better outcomes for all parties involved. Our approach ensures that the law is followed, while also promoting healthier workplace relationships.
Labour Law Compliance for Employers
For employers, complying with Thai labour laws helps you minimize the risk of legal penalties. We will help you conduct thorough assessments, identify potential risks, and guide your business in taking measures that ensure the law has been complied with.
Managing Employee Termination and Severance
When ending an employment relationship, we can help ensure all legal procedures are followed to avoid disputes. This includes advising you on severance payments, notice periods, and documentation.
Whether you’re an employee defending your rights or an employer setting up best practices, we provide practical, tailored advice every step of the way.
