Components Influencing Estate Planning Costs in Kenya

Several key components influence the overall estate planning package prices in Kenya. These include the complexity of your estate (number of assets, their valuation, and location), the types of documents required, and the level of legal advice and assistance needed. For instance, a basic package primarily focusing on a Last Will and Testament will be less costly than a comprehensive plan involving the establishment of complex trusts, enduring powers of attorney, and potentially ongoing trust administration services. The involvement of different legal entities, such as companies or investment vehicles, also adds to the complexity. Additional disbursements might include land registry fees, stamp duty, or other governmental charges, which Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates always outlines clearly. Our lawyers are experts in the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) guidelines on legal fees, ensuring fair and reasonable charges for all our services provided from our offices at Ciata Mall, Ridgeways, Kiambu Road, Nairobi.
