FAQs
What You Need to Know
What is the difference between probate and administration?
Probate is used when there’s a valid will. Letters of administration are for when there’s no will.
How long does the succession process take in Kenya?
Anywhere from 6 months to over a year depending on documentation, disputes, and court delays.
Can a will be contested?
Yes — if there's suspicion of fraud, undue influence, or capacity issues. We advise and represent clients in such cases.
Do all assets need to go through succession?
Not always. Some jointly held or nominated assets (like pensions or insurance) pass outside probate.
