The Legal Foundation: Wills in Nairobi Under Kenyan Law

In Nairobi, as across Kenya, the creation and validity of wills are governed by the Law of Succession Act, Cap 160. This fundamental legislation dictates that a will must be in writing, signed by the testator (the person making the will), and witnessed by at least two competent individuals present simultaneously. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators ensures that every simple will drafting package in Nairobi meticulously adheres to these legal requirements. Our understanding of Kenyan succession law protects your beneficiaries and prevents potential disputes, providing certainty for your estate.
