Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy, and the process of distributing assets can be complicated and overwhelming. At Kraido, our probate and administration law practice is here to help guide you through the process, ensuring that your loved one’s estate is handled correctly and distributed per their wishes.

So, what exactly is probate and administration law? Simply put, it is the legal process of settling a person’s estate after they pass away.

This process involves identifying and valuing the deceased person’s assets, paying any debts or taxes owed, and ultimately distributing the remaining property to the beneficiaries named in the person’s will. If the person did not have a will, the probate court will follow state law to determine who should receive the assets. Learn more about writing a will in Kenya.

Kraido Advocate’s lawyers will help you through the probate process in the following ways:

Valuate the estate: We help our clients value the estate and its assets, including real estate, personal property, investments, and business interests, to ensure that all investments are accounted for and properly distributed.
Identify debts and notify creditors: Lawyers can help identify any outstanding debts and notify creditors of the person’s passing, ensuring that all debts are paid off before the assets are distributed to beneficiaries.
Represent you in court: If there are any disputes or challenges to the will or the distribution of assets, probate and administration lawyers can represent you to ensure your interests are protected.
