For Kenyans abroad
Property and succession support for Kenyans abroad. Verify the record, understand the route and keep control before money or authority moves.
End-to-end encrypted document intake For title deeds, powers of attorney and death certificates, we send you a private link. Your documents are encrypted on your phone before they are sent, and only our advocates can open them. How it works
Initial response within one business day
🇰🇪 Kenya stays at the centre. Built for instructions across time zones.
Encrypted client intake
Instructing a Kenyan advocate from abroad usually means emailing title deeds, death certificates or family details to somebody you have never met. We built something better.
When you get in touch we send you a private intake link. Everything you enter, and every document you attach, is locked on your own phone before it is sent. Only this firm holds the key that opens it — not the company that stores the data, not the company that runs this page.
Sending the form does not create an advocate and client relationship. That begins when we have agreed terms in writing.
Encrypted document intake
Most Kenyan firms take documents by email attachment. We do not. When you are sent a private intake link, what you write and what you attach are locked on your own device first, and only this firm can open them.
Your browser makes a key for this submission alone, then locks your answers, every file and every file name with it. The key is built from the firm’s public key and a throwaway one of your own.
What travels is ciphertext. The throwaway private key is discarded the moment it has done its work, so it is never sent and never stored — not by the host, not by the database, not by us.
An advocate unlocks it with the firm’s private key, which is itself held under a passphrase and unwrapped in the browser at the moment of reading.
We say this plainly because an encryption claim is worth nothing without it. This much stays in the clear so the matter can be triaged and missing documents chased while the rest is still sealed. It is never the contents.
Choose a starting point
Start with the situation closest to yours. Each route opens a short diagnostic on the relevant service page; it does not create an engagement or commit you to a fee.
Put verification before payment and keep every step visible while you are abroad.

Beyond property and succession
Remote, not distant
Physical attendance may still be required where Kenyan law, a court, a registry or a transaction demands it. We identify that early rather than promising that every step is digital.
Tell us where you are based, what exists in Kenya and the decision or deadline in front of you.
You do not need to organise everything first.
We identify the documents, searches and Kenyan procedure needed before anyone commits funds or authority.
This is where preventable surprises are found.
You receive a written scope, fee and delivery path before substantive legal work begins.
No substantive work starts before you see the plan.
Work moves through a structured remote workflow, with clear updates and physical attendance only where required.
You are kept informed without chasing for updates.

When the checklist becomes a real matter
A first conversation clarifies fit and scope. It does not create an advocate–client relationship until the engagement is confirmed in writing.
Sessions can be scheduled around your local time zone — GMT, EST, CST and beyond.
Before you instruct us
The questions every Kenyan abroad asks before trusting a lawyer with their land or estate.
Much of the initial scoping, document review, verification and client communication can be handled remotely. We will identify any step that legally or practically requires physical attendance before the engagement begins.
Begin with copies through the secure channel agreed with the firm. Do not send originals or sensitive identity records to an unverified agent, relative or public link.
Yes. After scoping the facts and urgency, the firm confirms the work, exclusions, professional fee and likely disbursements in writing before substantive work begins.
The checks depend on the property, registry and transaction. They commonly include ownership and register checks, restrictions or charges, survey and occupation issues, rates or rent, consents and the seller’s legal capacity.
No. A power of attorney is a specific authority document, not a substitute for due diligence or legal advice. Its form, execution, registration and limits should be confirmed for the intended task before it is used.
That depends on whether you are planning ahead or administering an existing estate, how the assets are held and the family circumstances. The first step is a complete asset and ownership record, followed by tailored advice.
The team aims to acknowledge a complete enquiry within one business day and will then confirm the information needed to scope the work properly.
