Six Reasons Families Trust Sombat
When it comes to inheritance and estate matters, the practice you choose affects how your family experiences a difficult time. Here's how we work.
Specialist Knowledge
Inheritance and estate law exclusively — not a side practice to a general legal office.
Your Pace, Not Ours
We adapt to what works for you — no pressure, no rushed decisions, no unexplained timelines.
Fees Stated Upfront
Pricing for each service is clear before any work begins. No unexpected additions mid-process.
Complete Confidentiality
Legal professional privilege protects everything. Family matters stay private, always.
Locally Present
Based in Ubon Ratchathani, with knowledge of local courts, registries, and community context.
Family Relationships Matter
We look for paths that preserve family harmony — not approaches that create additional distance.
A Practice That Knows Inheritance Law Inside Out
General legal practices handle many different areas of law. Sombat does not. Our focus is inheritance and estate work — full stop. This means our team develops genuine depth in a narrow field, rather than broad but shallow familiarity across many areas.
When a complex situation arises — a disputed will, an unusual asset structure, or a multi-beneficiary estate — we've seen comparable situations before and know what to look for.
- Lawyers Council of Thailand licensed attorneys
- Ongoing specialisation in Thai inheritance law
- Deep familiarity with Ubon Ratchathani court procedures
- Experience with complex multi-party estate matters
- Agricultural land and rural property experience
- Plain-language explanations at every step
- Responses to enquiries within one working day

- Flexible appointment times, including Saturdays

Support That Feels Human, Not Transactional
Inheritance matters arrive during difficult times. The last thing families need is a legal process that feels cold or impersonal. We take time with each client — to listen, to explain, and to make sure nobody feels lost or left behind.
Our client care approach isn't a system — it's simply how our team works.
Transparent Fees for Every Service
We publish our starting prices and discuss any potential adjustments before beginning work. Estate planning starts at ฿1,850 THB, estate administration at ฿3,900 THB, and dispute resolution at ฿5,650 THB — each reflecting the genuine scope of what's involved.
We don't charge for initial conversations. If you call or message to understand your situation, that's part of how we work.
- Fees agreed before work starts
- No billing surprises mid-process
- Itemised explanations available on request
- Initial conversations at no charge

| Fee transparency | Often hourly, unpredictable | Fixed starting prices |
| Local court familiarity | Varies widely | Ubon Ratchathani based |
| Communication pace | Driven by caseload | Responsive within 1 day |
| Approach to disputes | Often adversarial by default | Mediation-first where appropriate |
What Only Sombat Offers
A few things about the way we work that reflect our specific philosophy and local commitment.
Northeastern Thailand Context
We understand the practical realities of estate work in Isan — agricultural land, family property arrangements, and the local community context that shapes how matters are handled here.
Multi-Beneficiary Experience
Estates with many heirs require a different kind of care. We have specific experience managing processes where multiple family members are involved — keeping everyone informed and respected.
No-Commitment Initial Conversation
We're happy to take a call or message to understand your situation before any formal engagement. Many people find this helps them decide what kind of support they actually need.
Mediation Before Litigation
In inheritance disputes, we always seek resolution first. Formal proceedings are a last resort — because they're costly, slow, and hard on families. Our first move is always to find common ground.
