Recognise the moment
This may be the right route if…
Start with the situation, not the legal label. We will confirm the correct scope after reviewing the basic record.
Your wishes are not documented
You own assets or support family members but do not yet have a Kenyan will or coordinated estate plan.
An estate cannot move
A family needs authority to collect, protect and distribute the deceased person’s assets.
The family disagrees
Beneficiaries, administrators or dependants dispute the estate, the documents or the proposed distribution.

Representative engagement
A family needs to manage several Kenyan assets
- Situation
- The assets are known, but authority, beneficiary expectations and older documents do not line up.
- Legal route
- Create an asset map, verify the controlling documents and select the correct probate or planning process.
- Safeguard
- Do not distribute or transfer estate property before legal authority is clear.
Before you instruct
Practical questions.
Clear answers help you decide whether to share documents, book advice or continue researching.
01Should I start with a will or a trust?
That depends on your assets, family needs, control preferences, cost and intended timeline. A planning assessment should come before selecting the structure.
02Can succession work be managed remotely?
Much of the instruction and document review can be remote. Court, identity, witnessing or original-document requirements may still require specific local steps.
03What if the deceased left no will?
The estate may still be administered under Kenyan succession law. The correct petition and distribution route depends on the family and asset record.
04Can you help where beneficiaries disagree?
Yes. The first step is an early assessment of the documents, parties, estate status and realistic resolution options.
Choose the level of commitment
Move from uncertainty to a scoped next step.
