The Process of Drafting a Simple Will in Kenya
The process of drafting a simple will with an expert simple will lawyer Kenya typically involves several straightforward steps. Initially, we conduct a consultation to understand your personal circumstances, your assets (movable and immovable property), and your desired beneficiaries. You’ll need to provide details of your assets, such as land in Kiambu Road, investments, bank accounts, and personal belongings, and clearly state who you wish to inherit them. Following this, we draft the will, meticulously outlining your wishes, appointing an executor, and specifying any guardians for minor children. The will must then be signed by you in the presence of two competent witnesses, who also sign in your presence and in the presence of each other. This procedure ensures the will is legally valid under the Law of Succession Act and is admissible by the High Court of Kenya for probate.
