Why Sombat Legal
What Sets Our Work Apart
Choosing a legal adviser for an inheritance matter is a personal decision. Here is an honest account of what we offer and how we differ from a general practice.

Six Things You Can Rely On
Dedicated Inheritance Practice
We do one thing: inheritance law. That means our knowledge of Thai succession matters is not shared with conveyancing, commercial contracts or other areas. It goes deeper.
Language You Can Follow
We explain every step in plain terms. Legal language stays in the documents where it belongs — our conversations are clear and unhurried.
Honest About Timeframes
We will not tell you a matter will be resolved in days if it will take months. You receive a realistic picture from the outset, with updates as things develop.
Full Confidentiality
Your family's affairs are private. We operate under strict professional and legal obligations of confidentiality, and we take those obligations seriously.
Clear, Upfront Pricing
Our service fees are stated openly. For review work, the price is fixed. For longer matters, we agree scope and cost before we begin — in writing.
Sensitive to Difficult Moments
Estates are opened in grief. Disputes arise in strained family situations. We work with that awareness, and with care for everyone whose life is affected.
Expertise
Fifteen Years in Inheritance Law
Sombat Legal has focused exclusively on inheritance and succession matters since 2009. Our principal lawyer trained in private law and practised in civil proceedings before establishing the firm. The team has worked on matters ranging from straightforward position reviews to multi-party estate disputes.
This depth is not incidental — it shapes how we read documents, how we spot issues early, and how we advise families before those issues become larger problems.

Service Quality
Clear Communication at Every Stage
From your first contact through to the conclusion of your matter, we keep you informed. This means explaining what has happened, what is happening now, and what comes next — in terms that are easy to follow.
We do not leave clients waiting without explanation. If there is a delay — from a court, an authority or a third party — we tell you, and we tell you what it means for your situation.
Value & Pricing
Fees That Are Agreed in Advance
Legal costs are often a concern when a family is already managing an estate. We address this directly. Our fees for each service are stated on this website, and we confirm the cost of any work in writing before it begins.
For more complex matters — where the scope depends on the estate's circumstances — we explain how we charge and what might affect the final cost, so you can make an informed decision.

What Makes Us Different
Distinctive Features of Our Practice
The Written Position Summary
Every inheritance review concludes with a plain-language written document — something you can keep, share with family members, and return to as you consider next steps.
One Adviser, One Matter
You will work with the same lawyer from first consultation to conclusion. Your matter is not passed between team members or handled in your adviser's absence.
Cross-Border Estate Familiarity
A number of our clients hold assets in more than one country, or are non-Thai nationals with interests in Thailand. We are familiar with what this involves and how to approach it.
Assessment Before Representation
For contested estate matters, we assess the facts of your case before recommending a course of action. We will not recommend representation if there is a simpler path available.
