Our Methodology

How we approach every household

Every household's archive is different. Some families have kept careful records for decades. Others have boxes of mixed documents they have never found the time to sort through. Our services are designed to work equally well in both situations, because we begin by understanding what is actually there before we suggest any particular approach.

All three services follow the same core principles: thorough care with your papers, full transparency about what we are doing, plain-language written outputs that any family member can follow, and honest signposting when something falls outside our scope.

Look & listen first

We survey before we sort

Label everything clearly

No guessing required later

Printed materials always

Accessible to every family member

Signpost where needed

We know our limits and yours

Service One

Personal Records Inventory Session

A calm, focused session that results in a clear printed inventory of where your important documents are kept. It is the simplest step you can take to ensure that the people you care about will not be left searching. The work is entirely organisational — we do not touch legal or financial advice — and everything is done at your home at a pace that feels comfortable.

What this service includes

  • A half-day home visit with a Perpetua specialist
  • Thorough review of existing documents and storage locations
  • A printed, labelled inventory of key documents and where each is kept
  • A labelled folder set to begin organising your papers
  • Signposting to official sources for items needing formal attention

How it unfolds

  1. 01.Telephone consultation to understand your situation
  2. 02.Half-day home visit to survey and inventory documents
  3. 03.Printed inventory and labelled folders handed to you before we leave
  4. 04.Brief closing conversation and any follow-up signposting

Best suited for

Individuals or couples who want a clear starting point — a single well-organised session that produces an inventory they can keep and update themselves. Also a good first step for families who are considering a more comprehensive programme later.

A calm family discussion around a table with documents

Best suited for

Households where family members need help starting and structuring conversations about wishes and planning — particularly families with members at different stages of life, or where these subjects have not yet been discussed openly.

Service Two

Family Conversation Facilitation Series

A gentle series of small-group sessions that helps families hold thoughtful conversations about wishes, record-keeping, and planning ahead — with simple structures to keep the discussions respectful, productive, and clear. Purely educational and supportive, with no advice on legal entitlements or formal arrangements. Each participant receives printed conversation guides to keep.

What this service includes

  • Three facilitated group sessions (held at your home or a quiet location)
  • Printed conversation guides for each participant
  • Simple frameworks to keep discussions organised and unhurried
  • Guidance on what to record from each conversation
  • Signposting to relevant professional resources as needed

Typical timeline

  1. Session 1.Understanding the household's documents and current arrangements
  2. Session 2.Talking about wishes and what each person wants others to know
  3. Session 3.Recording decisions and identifying any gaps to address

Sessions are typically spaced two to three weeks apart. All conducted in Thai, English, or both.

Shared Across All Services

We do not photograph, scan, or keep copies of any personal document. Your papers stay in your home.

Consent at every step

Nothing is opened, moved, or recorded without your knowledge and agreement. You are in control throughout.

Thai and English delivery

All written materials can be produced in either or both languages to serve your whole household.

Organisational work only

We do not advise on legal, financial, or tax matters. If you need that kind of help, we point you to the right sources.

No pressure, no deadlines

Every service can be paused or rescheduled without difficulty. Your pace is the right pace.

Physical printed outputs

Every service concludes with printed materials that any family member can use, regardless of their comfort with technology.

Not sure where to begin?

A short telephone conversation is usually the simplest way to work out which service fits. We are glad to answer questions before you decide anything.
