Understanding the Grant of Probate & Letters of Administration in Kenya

Navigating the legal landscape of estate administration in Kenya, particularly in Nairobi, requires a thorough understanding of the Law of Succession Act (Cap. 160) and the procedures governed by the High Court of Kenya. A Grant of Probate is issued when a deceased person leaves a valid Will, naming an executor to manage their estate. Conversely, a Grant of Letters of Administration is required when there is no Will (intestacy) or if the named executor is unable or unwilling to act. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators, located at Ciata Mall, Ridgeways, Kiambu Road, Nairobi, Kenya, specialises in these intricate legal processes. Our expertise ensures strict compliance with statutory requirements, preventing common pitfalls that can cause significant delays. We meticulously prepare all necessary documentation for submission to the relevant courts, including the Probate and Administration Rules, to expedite the issuance of these crucial legal instruments. Our focus on entity recognition and compliance with the Kenya Law Reform Commission guidelines ensures a robust and legally sound application.
