THAI WILL & TESTAMENT

Ordinary Will

Guidelines for Creation

1. Written Form: The will must be in written form, either handwritten or typed. It can be written in Thai or any foreign language.
2. Date: The will must include the day, month, and year when it is made to prove the capability of the testator.
3. Signature: The testator must sign the will in the presence of at least two witnesses simultaneously. The signature can be handwritten or a fingerprint. However, a seal or a stamp cannot be used in place of a signature or fingerprint. Witnesses must sign the will with their handwritten signatures; they cannot use a fingerprint, seal, or any other mark.
4. Alterations: Any erasure, addition, or other alteration to the will is invalid unless the date (day, month, year) of the alteration is noted, and the testator signs or fingerprints the alteration in the presence of at least two witnesses simultaneously. The witnesses must also sign to certify the testator's signature or fingerprint at the time of the alteration. If the testator has leprosy and lacks fingerprints, the will is still invalid even if the witnesses properly certify their signatures.
