Overview

Wills & Estate Planning Services in Kenya

Estate planning is one of the most important legal steps you can take for your family's security. In Kenya, the Law of Succession Act governs the distribution of a deceased person's estate, and dying without a valid will (intestacy) means your assets are distributed according to statutory rules that may not reflect your wishes.

LHK Advocates provides comprehensive estate planning services including will drafting, trust establishment, powers of attorney, and succession planning for families and business owners. We ensure that your estate plan is legally valid, tax-efficient, and structured to minimize the potential for disputes among your beneficiaries.

For business owners, estate planning extends beyond personal assets to include business succession planning. We structure ownership arrangements, draft buy-sell agreements, and create trusts that ensure the continuity of your business and the smooth transfer of ownership upon your death or incapacity.
