Key Takeaway

Learn how to resolve disputes with your siblings over paying for your elderly parent's care using Immani, a Kenyan digital platform.

When siblings disagree over who pays for their elderly parent's care, it can be a challenging and sensitive issue — Immani lets you resolve this dispute quickly and affordably. This situation happens because family members may have different financial capacities, or some may feel they have already contributed enough. The usual advice to go to court or seek mediation can be time-consuming and costly. For many everyday disputes like this, there's a faster option. Here's how Immani works in this specific context:

  1. Open a dispute on Immani using your sibling's phone number and describe the issue.
  2. Your sibling will be notified immediately and has a short private window to respond and engage directly with you.
  3. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number on Immani.
  4. The dispute only closes when both sides confirm they have engaged and reached an understanding. Immani charges a filing fee of KSh 100 and a closing fee of KSh 3,000.
