Complete guide: Wills & Cross-Border Estate: Drafting · Executor · Probate · Transfer · Tax
No secrets in the will
Wills may be read by many parties in court, so never include passwords, seed phrases or private keys.
Secure access
Store access information separately, such as in a safe-deposit box or split storage, and state in the will where the executor can find it.
Thai exchanges
SEC-licensed exchanges have death-notification procedures and usually require an administrator court order.
Volatility
Specify whether the executor sells or transfers assets in kind to reduce price disputes.
Tax
Selling digital assets may create income tax; check with the Revenue Department.
