Few areas of law touch families as directly as succession. A well-drawn will and a considered estate plan spare loved ones years of uncertainty; the absence of one can turn grief into litigation. We advise on both sides of that line, planning estates during life and administering or contesting them after death.
Our private client team acts under the Law of Succession Act and related legislation, handling estates with assets in Kenya and abroad, family businesses, land held under customary arrangements and the particular questions that arise for foreign nationals and Kenyans in the diaspora.
Who We Act ForIndividuals and families, business owners, executors and administrators, beneficiaries, diaspora Kenyans and foreign nationals with Kenyan assets.
