Frequently Asked Questions
Can I file for divorce in Kenya while living abroad?
Yes. We’ll handle all necessary filings and court appearances on your behalf under a power of attorney.
How do I arrange child custody while living overseas?
We help negotiate and formalize custody and maintenance agreements that consider your location and your child’s best interests.
Is my foreign will valid in Kenya?
It might be recognized, but it’s often safer to have a separate Kenyan will for local assets. We’ll review your existing will and advise you.
What happens if I die without a will in Kenya?
Your estate will be divided under Kenya’s intestacy laws, which may not match your wishes. A valid will ensures your assets go to your chosen beneficiaries.
Can you handle probate in Kenya while I’m overseas?
Yes. We can act under a power of attorney to manage the entire probate process locally, keeping you updated every step of the way.
