Client Experiences

Gathered from families we've worked with across Ubon Ratchathani and the surrounding region.

Siriporn Phromma

Ubon Ratchathani

My father passed away last year and we didn't know where to start. The team at Sombat explained each step clearly and never made us feel rushed. The estate was handled tidily and we felt looked after throughout. I'd recommend them without hesitation.

Thanasak Noikhamhung

Warin Chamrap, Ubon

We had a disagreement with my uncle over land my grandfather left behind. Sombat helped us avoid going to court — which was a relief, honestly. The mediation took a few sessions but we came out with an agreement everyone accepted. Fair and sensible approach.

Nattaporn Panya

Phibun Mangsahan, Ubon

I wanted to get my affairs in order while I'm still in good health — my children are grown and I wanted to be clear about my wishes. Kanya explained what a will actually covers in Thailand and helped me draft one properly. It wasn't complicated at all. I felt well-prepared afterwards.

Wanchai Charoensuk

Ubon Ratchathani

My mother's estate involved rice paddy land and a shop — more complicated than I expected. Sombat knew exactly what documentation the land registry needed and handled everything without us needing to follow up constantly. That was a big help during a difficult time.

Pranee Thongsuk

Det Udom, Ubon

We contacted Sombat when siblings started disagreeing about who should manage our father's estate. I was worried the whole thing would get worse, but the approach was calm and focused. They spoke with everyone separately before bringing us together. The process took about three months but ended on good terms.

Somkiat Ruangrat

Trakan Phuet Phon, Ubon

We used Sombat for estate planning — my wife and I both wanted to be clear about our wishes before we got older. The fee was reasonable and the whole thing was done in about four weeks. The lawyer was patient with our questions and didn't make us feel hurried.

Client Situations in Detail

Three examples of the kinds of matters we handle — each situation is different, but the approach stays the same.

Estate Administration After Sudden Bereavement

The Situation

A family in Ubon lost their mother unexpectedly. She had property, bank accounts, and jewellery, but no will in place. The family wasn't sure how to begin or what the law required of them.

How We Helped

We handled the probate application, prepared a full inventory of assets, coordinated with the land registry for property transfers, and assisted with bank account closures — keeping the family informed throughout.

Outcome

The estate was settled in approximately four months. All assets were properly transferred to the intended heirs and the family avoided any disputes arising from the absence of a will. Timeline: 4 months.

Resolving a Disagreement Over Agricultural Land

The Situation

Three adult siblings disagreed about how to divide rice farming land their father had left. One sibling wanted to sell, two wanted to keep farming it. Tensions had been building for several months.

How We Helped

We facilitated a series of separate conversations to understand each sibling's position, then brought them together for a structured discussion. We helped them model a shared ownership arrangement that allowed one sibling to retain farming rights while compensating the others fairly.

Outcome

An agreement was reached in under three months. No court proceedings were required. The siblings left the process on reasonable terms, which was the priority for all three of them. Timeline: 11 weeks.

Estate Planning for a Business Owner

The Situation

A local business owner with two properties and a family business wanted to document her succession wishes clearly. She had three children and wanted to avoid ambiguity after her passing.

How We Helped

We reviewed all assets, helped her consider the implications of different distribution options, and drafted a will that clearly reflected her intentions. We also discussed executor responsibilities with her designated executor.

Outcome

A complete will and supporting documentation were finalised within five weeks. The client said she felt considerably more settled knowing her wishes were clearly documented. Timeline: 5 weeks.
