Plan your medical care in advance. Protect your family from difficult decisions.
.
A Living Will, known under Thai law as a “Living will” under Section 12 of the National Health Act B.E. 2550, allows you to state in advance whether you wish to receive or decline life-sustaining treatment if you become terminally ill or permanently unconscious with no reasonable chance of recovery.
.
Unlike a Last Will and Testament, which distributes assets after death, a Living Will governs medical decisions while you are still alive but unable to communicate your wishes.
Why You Need One
- Removes the burden from your family.
Without clear instructions, loved ones are left guessing, or disagreeing, at the worst possible time. - Ensures your wishes are followed.
Doctors and hospitals are required to respect a validly executed Living Will. - Works together with your estate plan.
We draft Living Wills as part of a complete plan alongside your Last Will and Testament and, where relevant, a power of attorney for healthcare.
What We Prepare
- A Living Will drafted in accordance with Section 12 of the National Health Act, in Thai and English
- Clear, specific instructions on the treatments you accept or decline
- Guidance on execution, witnessing, and where to keep the document so it is accessible when needed
- Coordination with your existing estate plan and, where applicable, your family or attorney-in-fact
Who Should Consider This
- Individuals of any age planning ahead, not only the elderly or terminally ill
- Foreign residents in Thailand who want their end-of-life wishes respected under Thai law
- Anyone updating an existing estate plan
Contact us to schedule a confidential consultation. We will walk you through your options and prepare a Living Will tailored to your wishes.
