Many Kenyans postpone writing a Will, believing it is something only the elderly or very wealthy need to think about. This is a dangerous misconception. Without a valid Will, your estate — however large or small — will be distributed under the Law of Succession Act’s intestacy provisions, which follow a fixed formula that may leave your loved ones in financial difficulty.
What a Will Can Do
A properly drafted Will allows you to choose your executor, specify exactly who receives your property (including bank accounts, land, vehicles, and business interests), nominate guardians for your minor children, make charitable bequests, and set up testamentary trusts to protect assets for children until they reach adulthood.
