What sets this work apart
Specialist knowledge
Over a decade spent in family records and document administration, specifically in Thai household contexts.
Complete discretion
No documents are copied or retained. Everything seen in your home stays in your home.
Bilingual service
All written materials can be produced in Thai, English, or both — whatever serves your family best.
Work done in your home
Sessions happen where your documents live. Nothing is transported, and nothing is disrupted more than necessary.
No pressure, no deadlines
Every engagement moves at the pace that suits you. Nothing here is rushed, and nothing is pushed.
Honest about our limits
We do not advise on legal or financial matters, and we always point you to the right professional when needed.
Expertise
Years spent on exactly this kind of work
The Perpetua team has spent more than a decade working with Thai and international households on the organisation of personal and estate records. This is not a sideline to a broader consultancy; it is the only thing we do. That focus means we understand the kinds of documents that come up repeatedly in Bangkok households, the common difficulties families encounter when searching for papers, and the most practical ways to arrange things so that everything stays findable for years to come.
- Deep familiarity with Thai property, identity, and financial document types
- Experience with mixed Thai–English household archives
- Knowledge of which official sources to recommend for different document categories
"We have worked with households whose papers filled ten drawers and households whose papers fitted in one folder. The method we use adapts to what is actually there."
— Nattaporn Wiriyakul, Founder
How a typical engagement unfolds
- 1A short telephone conversation to understand your situation and suggest the right service
- 2A first home visit to survey the documents present and discuss how you would like things arranged
- 3Careful, labelled organisation of each document category, with your involvement at every stage
- 4A printed inventory and, where applicable, a written family briefing explaining the archive
- 5A closing conversation to answer any remaining questions and signpost further resources
Our Approach
A clear, repeatable process with no hidden steps
Every Perpetua engagement follows the same straightforward sequence, adapted to the scale and complexity of your household. You always know what is happening next, and nothing proceeds without your agreement. The printed materials we leave behind are designed to remain useful long after our visits are finished.
Privacy & Discretion
Your household's private papers are handled with full care
We understand that what we are dealing with in a household archive is among the most private material a family holds. Our working practices reflect that. We do not photograph documents. We do not take notes beyond what is needed to produce the inventory. All working notes are held securely and either returned to you or destroyed when the engagement ends.
- No copies of documents kept after the engagement
- Working notes returned or securely destroyed
- Nothing shared outside the household

What Only Perpetua Offers
Distinctive features of our service
The Family Briefing
Unique to our Complete Estate Records Programme, the Family Briefing is a plain-language written document that explains each section of your household archive to a family member who may be unfamiliar with the papers. It is the document that turns a filing system into something a grieving son or daughter can actually use.
Family Conversation Facilitation
Many record-keeping difficulties begin with conversations that families have never managed to have clearly. Our facilitation series provides a respectful, structured way for households to talk about wishes, documents, and planning — together, at their own pace, with a guide who has done this many times before.
Printed Inventory & Folder Set
Every engagement concludes with a physical printed inventory — not just a digital file — and a labelled folder set that forms the foundation of your household archive. Physical materials outlast technology and are accessible to every member of your family regardless of their comfort with devices.
Careful Signposting
Because we work at the boundary between organisation and formal professional services, we have developed a clear set of signposting resources for clients who need legal, financial, or notarial guidance. We do not hand you to a general search; we point you to specific, appropriate sources for the Thai context.
