• "We / Us / Our" — Maha Advocates, a legal services firm registered in Thailand
• "You / User" — any person who visits this website or engages our services
• "Services" — the legal services described on this website, including Inheritance Position Assessment, Executor Guidance Service, and Estate Proceedings Representation

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of this website immediately.

Our services are intended for individuals aged 18 and above who have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. By proceeding, you confirm that you meet these requirements.

Submitting an enquiry through our contact form does not in itself constitute an engagement. A formal engagement begins only when we have confirmed acceptance in writing.

3. Service Description

Maha Advocates provides specialist legal services in the area of Thai inheritance law, currently comprising three service offerings:

• Inheritance Position Assessment — review of heirship standing and entitlements under Thai law
• Executor Guidance Service — practical support for executors managing estate obligations
• Estate Proceedings Representation — representation in formal inheritance proceedings

Services are provided to clients located in or with matters connected to Thailand. We reserve the right to decline instructions at our discretion and are not required to accept every enquiry.

Service availability may change without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to keep the website up to date but do not warrant uninterrupted availability.

4. Your Responsibilities

When using this website or engaging our services, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and current information at all times
• Inform us promptly of any changes to information you have provided
• Use this website only for lawful purposes
• Refrain from attempting to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to our systems
• Not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit content from this website without our written consent

You acknowledge that providing false or misleading information may affect the quality of advice we can offer and may have consequences under Thai law.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including text, design elements, and the arrangement of content, is the property of Maha Advocates or is used with permission. It is protected under Thai intellectual property law.

We grant you a limited, non-transferable, personal licence to access and view the content on this website for your personal, non-commercial use.

This licence does not permit reproduction, systematic downloading, redistribution, or creation of derivative works without our prior written consent.

6. Fees & Payment

Service fees are stated in Thai Baht (฿) and are outlined on this website for reference. Final fees applicable to your matter will be confirmed in writing at the time of engagement.

• Payment terms and methods will be specified in your engagement letter
• Fees may be adjusted where the scope of work changes materially from the original instructions
• Disbursements (court fees, registration charges, and similar third-party costs) are additional and will be communicated in advance

We do not offer refunds except where required by applicable Thai consumer protection law or as specifically agreed in writing. Each matter is handled individually; outcomes cannot be assured and fees are not contingent upon a particular result.

7. Service-Specific Terms

All legal services provided by Maha Advocates are subject to the following:

• Scope and deliverables are confirmed in the engagement letter issued before work commences
• Timelines are estimates only and may be affected by the conduct of courts, government offices, and other parties
• Material changes to the scope of instructions should be requested in writing and may affect fees
• All advice is provided in the context of Thai inheritance law and does not extend to foreign jurisdictions unless expressly stated
• Confidentiality of client information is maintained in accordance with our professional obligations under Thai law

We are committed to keeping you informed at each stage of your matter and to explaining developments in plain language.

8. Disclaimers

The content on this website is provided for general information purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such without first obtaining a formal assessment of your specific circumstances from a qualified lawyer.

While we take care to keep the information on this website accurate and current, we make no representations as to its completeness or suitability for any particular purpose.

The outcome of any legal matter depends on many factors outside our control. We will work diligently on your behalf but cannot warrant any specific result.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Thai law, Maha Advocates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of this website or our services, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of data, or reputational harm.

Our total liability in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the fees paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Thai law.

Force majeure: we shall not be in breach of our obligations where performance is prevented or delayed by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including court closures, government action, or natural events.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement on reasonable written notice. Specific notice provisions will be set out in your engagement letter.

We reserve the right to cease providing services where you are in breach of these terms, have provided materially false information, or where continuing the engagement would create a professional conflict or contravene our obligations under Thai law.

Upon termination, fees for work completed up to the date of termination remain payable. Obligations relating to confidentiality and intellectual property survive termination indefinitely.

11. Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand.

In the event of a dispute, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can seek an informal resolution. Most concerns can be addressed by speaking directly with the responsible member of our team.

Where informal resolution is not possible, disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Khon Kaen Province, Thailand, unless otherwise required by law.

12. General Provisions

• Entire agreement: this Agreement, together with your engagement letter, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter
• Severability: if any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force
• Waiver: failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of future enforcement
• Assignment: you may not assign your rights or obligations under this Agreement without our prior written consent
• Notices: formal notices should be sent in writing to our address or to [email protected]

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. When we do, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date.

Changes do not affect existing engagements already in progress. For new enquiries, the terms in force at the time of engagement will apply.
