In Kenya, succession and inheritance are governed by the Law of Succession Act. This law outlines the rules for distributing property, assets, and other belongings after someone's death. It's essential to understand these rules to ensure that your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected.
The Law of Succession Act states that property can be distributed through several methods, including:
- Testamentary succession: This is when a person leaves a will that outlines how their property will be distributed after their death.
- Intestate succession: This is when a person dies without leaving a will, and their property is distributed according to the law.
- Joint tenancy: This is when two or more people own property together, and the surviving owner(s) automatically inherit the property.
