At CB Law firm, we work based on a transparent process.
Our clients have a choice as to what basis of engagement agreement they want to work with us:
– Scope of work
– Hourly charge
– Retainer
Most of our clients choose to work on a Scope of Work basis.
Under Scope of Work an agreement is made that specifies the different parts of the process that are to be carried out together with our clients and the total price for all those services. Items that fall outside the Scope of Work, like translation services are also indicated.
This gives our clients the assurance of not having to face ever increasing legal bills.
Issues may arise in family law where there is a question as to the laws of the jurisdiction that apply to the marriage relationship or to custody and divorce, and whether a divorce or child custody order is recognized under the laws of another jurisdiction.

This section of law aims to repair damages caused by others. In Civil Law, the owner who gives the Usufruct is called in French “nu-propriétaire” or by literal translation in English “naked-owner”. It means that the owner has nothing else than the ownership: He can’t use his possession, even if he is the owner. Besides possession and enjoyment of the property, the Usufructurary has also the legal right to use and derive benefits from the property that belongs to another person, as long as the property is not damaged. It means that you can enjoy this property, even ask the owner to leave the property, can sublease and get the money from the rent, and this, until the end of your life. It is NOT restricted to 30 years maximum. On top of that, if you decide to build on this land, it is possible for you be the full owner of the buildings and constructions. It is really a strong right. If you would like to use this right for industrial purposes, be aware that some taxes might be required.
A Will is a legal document where you express your decision as to who will inherit your wealth and what part of it will go to whom after you have deceased. If you do not draft up a Will, the law decides who gets what and the rules can be found in clause 1599 and following of the Commercial and Civil Code of Thailand (CCCT). No matter how little or how much property you may own, you want to be sure that it is distributed to the right people after your death. In Thailand as in most countries, “When a person dies, their Estate devolves on the heirs.” (Section 1599 of the Civil and Commercial Code, “CCC”) In Thailand, if a person dies without a Will, it is down to the state to decide who will benefit from the estate of the deceased. (Statutory heirs) (Section 1603 CCC).
