Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need legal knowledge to use this?
No — just answer simple questions in a guided chat.
How long does it take to create the Living Will & Health-Care Proxy?
Most contracts are ready in less than 5 minutes.
Is this Living Will & Health-Care Proxy editable after download?
Yes — you can edit the document anytime after download.
Is a Living Will legally recognized in Thailand?
Yes. Section 12 of the National Health Act B.E. 2550 (2007) specifically grants every person the right to make a living will refusing medical treatment that only prolongs the dying process. The Ministerial Regulation of 2010 provides the implementing framework.
Can a foreigner make a Living Will in Thailand?
Yes. The National Health Act does not restrict this right to Thai nationals. Any person — including expats, retirees, and long-stay foreigners — can create a legally valid Living Will in Thailand.
Do I need a lawyer to create a Living Will?
No, a lawyer is not legally required. However, the document must be signed by the declarant and two witnesses. Having a bilingual (English-Thai) document is strongly recommended to ensure Thai medical staff can understand and follow your wishes.
What is a Health-Care Proxy and do I need one?
A Health-Care Proxy is a person you appoint to make medical decisions on your behalf when you are unable to do so. While not legally required alongside a Living Will in Thailand, appointing a proxy is strongly recommended — especially for foreigners — to ensure someone who understands your wishes can advocate for you.
Can I change or revoke my Living Will later?
Yes. You can revoke or amend your Living Will at any time, either orally or in writing, as long as you are of sound mind. It is recommended to destroy old copies and notify your health-care proxy and medical providers of any changes.
Will Thai hospitals accept this document?
Thai hospitals are legally required to respect a valid living will under the National Health Act. Presenting a bilingual document with proper witness signatures significantly increases compliance. It is advisable to provide a copy to your primary hospital and keep one with your proxy.
What happens if I don't have a Living Will in Thailand?
Without a Living Will, medical decisions in end-of-life situations will be made by your treating physicians in consultation with your family members, following standard Thai medical protocols. This may not align with your personal wishes.
Does this Living Will cover organ donation?
No. Organ donation in Thailand requires a separate registration, typically through the Thai Red Cross Society. This Living Will covers only decisions about life-sustaining medical treatment.
