Core Services: Comprehensive Support for Estate Management
Managing an estate involves navigating various legal requirements, from confirming a will’s validity to distributing assets. Our services are designed to provide complete support throughout this process:
Wills & Estate Planning
Advising on the preparation of legally sound wills to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. We also offer guidance on broader estate planning strategies to minimize future complications and potential disputes for your beneficiaries.
Applying for Grants of Representation
Assisting executors and administrators in obtaining the necessary grants from the High Court of Kenya (e.g., Grant of Probate for estates with a will, or Grant of Letters of Administration for estates without a will). This legal authority is crucial for managing and distributing the deceased's assets.
Estate Administration & Distribution
Guiding personal representatives through the process of collecting assets, settling debts and liabilities (including taxes), managing estate property, and ultimately distributing the remaining assets to rightful beneficiaries as per the will or intestacy laws.
Resealing of Grants

Challenging Wills & Estate Disputes
Providing legal representation in cases involving challenges to the validity of a will, disputes among beneficiaries, or disagreements regarding the administration of an estate. We aim for sensitive and effective resolution.
Trusts & Enduring Powers of Attorney
Advising on the establishment of trusts for long-term asset management or for specific beneficiaries, and drafting Enduring Powers of Attorney to ensure your affairs are managed by trusted individuals should you become incapacitated.
