Will Writing & Estate Planning Advocates in Kenya

Writing a Will is one of the most thoughtful and impactful gifts you can give your family. Without a clear, legally binding Will, your hard-earned estate—whether land, bank savings, SACCO shares, or family businesses—is distributed according to statutory rules under the Law of Succession Act, often leading to protracted court delays and family friction. At Wangui Kuria & Co. Advocates, led by Managing Partner Ruth Wangui Kuria, we provide compassionate, discreet, and legally airtight Will writing and estate planning services that honor your wishes and shield your beneficiaries from future uncertainty.

Core Will Writing & Estate Planning Services

Under the Law of Succession Act (Cap 160), drafting a valid Will requires strict adherence to legal capacity, proper execution, and strategic protection against future court challenges. Our legal team guides you through:

• Customized Last Will and Testament Drafting:

1. Drafting clear, legally binding Wills under Section 5 of Cap 160 that specify exact asset distribution among spouses, children, and chosen beneficiaries.

2. Ensuring valid legal execution under Section 11—including proper testator signing, independent witness attestation, and safeguarding against claims of fraud, coercion, or lack of mental capacity.

• Appointment of Executors & Legal Guardians:

1. Appointing trusted Executors under Section 6 to administer your estate smoothly upon your passing.

2. Designating legal guardians for minor children to ensure their welfare, education, and financial care are handled by people you trust implicitly.

• Memorandum of Wishes & Codicils:

1. Drafting confidential Memorandums of Wishes under Section 12 to provide personal guidance to executors regarding funeral arrangements, trustee priorities, and specific family instructions.

2. Preparing Codicils to amend, update, or add assets to an existing Will without revoking the entire document as your estate grows.

• Protection for Dependants & Risk Mitigation:

1. Structuring estate distributions to account for dependants under Section 26, reducing the risk of your Will being challenged or set aside in court after your death.

2. Integrating Will drafting with Family Trusts under the Trustees (Perpetual Succession) Act for multi-generational wealth preservation.

• Safe Custody & Document Preservation:

1. Offering secure, confidential custody of original Will documents in our firm's vault under written deposit acknowledgment, preventing document loss, alteration, or family destruction.
