Factors Influencing Estate Planning Attorney Fees in Kenya

Several factors influence estate planning attorney fees in Kenya, making it important to understand what drives the costs. The complexity of your estate – including the value and type of assets (e.g., real estate, investments, businesses) – is a primary determinant. The type of services required also plays a significant role; drafting a simple Will is generally less costly than establishing multiple trusts or navigating complex probate proceedings. The attorney's experience and reputation, adherence to Law Society of Kenya (LSK) fee guidelines, and the time required to complete the task all contribute to the final fee. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates bases its fees on these considerations, ensuring a fair and equitable charge for our professional services across Kenya.
