Understanding the Legal Framework for Wills in Kenya

In Kenya, the drafting and execution of wills are governed by the Law of Succession Act, Cap 160. This crucial piece of legislation outlines the requirements for a valid will, including that it must be in writing, signed by the testator (the person making the will), and witnessed by at least two competent witnesses who are present at the same time the testator signs. For those in Mombasa seeking legal advice, understanding these statutes is the first step. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators ensures every will we draft adheres strictly to these legal mandates, preventing potential disputes and safeguarding your assets. Our expertise extends to advising on executor appointments, beneficiary designations, and charitable bequests, all within the framework of Kenyan succession law.
