What Is a Will Preparation Checklist?
A will-preparation checklist helps organize information for a will, including assets, heirs, an estate administrator, and end-of-life wishes. It can help you prepare for a meeting with a lawyer or another qualified legal professional. This free checklist is not itself a will.
What This Checklist Helps You Organize
- Consider your wishes for handling assets and obligations.
- Review property records, land documents, bank accounts, and insurance policies.
- List heirs, intended distributions, and a trusted estate administrator.
- Track your preparation progress.
Legal Scope
This checklist refers to provisions of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code on succession and wills and tracks your preparation progress. It does not determine whether a will is legally valid.
