Property Dispute Litigation Advocates in Kenya.

Land is the foundation of economic security in Kenya, but property ownership can quickly become vulnerable to boundary encroachers, fraudulent title allocations, family succession squabbles, or aggressive state acquisition. At Wangui Kuria & Co. Advocates, we stand firm as defenders of your real estate rights. Combining technical mastery of Kenyan land statutes with unyielding courtroom advocacy, we help landowners, real estate developers, and family trusts protect their property title investments and resolve boundary or title disputes decisively.

Core Property Dispute Litigation Practice Areas

Litigating land conflicts in Kenya requires direct application of the Land Act (2012), Land Registration Act (2012), Limitation of Actions Act (Cap 22), and constitutional protections under Article 40 (Protection of Right to Property). Our litigation team represents clients before the specialized land courts and administrative boards across:

• Fraudulent Title Cancellation & Challenge of Double Allocations:

1. Instituting suits in the Environment and Land Court (ELC) to revoke fraudulently registered land titles, forged land transfer deeds, and illegal allocations.

2. Utilizing historical root-of-title searches, Ministry of Lands archives, and Ardhisasa digital records to prove original ownership and nullify illegal title entries.

• Adverse Possession Claims:

1. Filing originations and petitions under the Limitation of Actions Act (Cap 22) to claim legal ownership of land occupied peacefully, continuously, and openly without the owner's permission for over 12 years.

2. Defending registered property owners against frivolous adverse possession lawsuits brought by squatters or trespassers.

• Boundary Disputes, Trespass & Encroachment Injunctions:

1. Obtaining urgent court injunctions and status quo orders to stop unlawful land invasions, fence movement, grading, or illegal construction on your property.

2. Coordinating with County Surveyors and Land Registrars to execute official boundary re-establishment and resolve survey disputes under the Land Adjudication Act.

• Compulsory Acquisition & National Land Commission (NLC) Appeals:

1. Representing private landowners against the government or state agencies in compulsory acquisition proceedings.

2. Litigating before the National Land Commission (NLC) and the High Court to challenge low land valuation assessments, delayed compensation payouts, or illegal public takings.

• Commercial Real Estate Development & Joint Venture Disputes:

1. Resolving litigation between landowners, property developers, and contractors involving breached joint venture development agreements, delayed project handovers, or shared amenity access.

2. Handling dispute resolution regarding Sectional Titles and common area management conflicts under the Sectional Properties Act (2020).
