The Importance of Corporate Wills Under Kenyan Law

In Kenya, a corporate will is more than just a personal document; it's a strategic instrument for business continuity and asset protection, governed by the Law of Succession Act (Cap 160) and influenced by corporate legislation such as the Companies Act, 2015. It ensures that the business continues to operate smoothly, assets are managed according to the owner's wishes, and potential conflicts among beneficiaries or stakeholders are minimised. A well-drafted corporate will can specify the appointment of executors with business acumen, outline management succession, and even address the future direction of the company. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators provides specialised legal services to ensure your corporate will aligns with all statutory requirements and your business objectives.
