The Cost of Chaos

Succession & Trusts FAQs

Do I need a will to avoid family disputes?
A will is often the simplest starting point. It can reduce confusion, speed up administration, and clarify intentions. In some cases, a trust or a combined plan is better depending on assets, dependants and risk.
Why are trusts popular in Kenya?
Trusts can help with structured inheritance, privacy, long-term family provision, protecting minors, and reducing conflict over control. The right structure depends on goals, assets and governance.
Probate vs letters of administration?
Probate generally applies where there is a valid will appointing executors. Letters of administration are typically for estates with no will, where administrators are appointed by the court.
Can disputes be settled out of court?
Yes. Many family disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation and structured consents, which often saves time, costs and relationships.
