Diaspora support

Your wealth may be in Kenya. You don't have to be.

Living outside Kenya should not prevent you from putting the right structures in place to protect and manage the wealth you have built or invested here.

Whether you are a Kenyan living abroad, a Kenyan expatriate or a foreign national living, investing or owning property in Kenya, we make the Kenyan side of your estate planning as seamless as possible.

Consultations and meetings can be conducted virtually. Documents can be prepared and reviewed electronically, and where documents need to be signed abroad, we guide you through the applicable execution, notarisation or authentication requirements.

Once the necessary documents are in Kenya, we handle the local registrations, filings and follow-ups on your behalf. In many cases, you do not need to travel to Kenya simply to put your estate plan in place.

For foreign nationals who own assets in Kenya, planning is particularly important. Without appropriate structures, your family may eventually have to navigate the Kenyan succession process and court system to deal with assets left behind in Kenya, often from another country and within a legal system that is completely unfamiliar to them.

A properly structured Family Trust can be particularly useful in this context. Assets transferred into the Trust during your lifetime can continue to be held and managed within the Trust after your death, reducing the need for your family to rely on Kenyan succession proceedings in relation to those assets.
