Succession & Estate Planning
Securing Legacies. Protecting Futures.
Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones, preserve your wealth, and ensure that your legacy is passed on exactly as you intend. At Hansen Advocates, we provide comprehensive, strategic, and highly personalised Estate Planning, Trusts, and Succession Law services designed to give you clarity, certainty, and peace of mind.
We assist individuals, families, business owners, and high-net-worth clients in structuring their personal and family affairs through well-designed legal instruments that stand the test of time. Our approach goes beyond drafting documents; we focus on creating sustainable wealth preservation structures that anticipate change, minimise risk, and reduce potential disputes.
Our expertise includes the preparation and administration of wills, establishment and management of trusts, succession planning, probate and estate administration, letters of administration, guardianship arrangements, and intergenerational wealth transfer planning. We also advise on complex estate matters involving family businesses, multiple beneficiaries, cross-border assets, and blended family structures.
A key part of our practice is trust formation and advisory services. We help clients set up private trusts, family trusts, charitable trusts, and asset protection structures tailored to their long-term objectives. Whether the goal is wealth preservation, tax efficiency, asset protection, or structured distribution of assets over time, we design solutions that are legally sound and practically effective.
In addition, we support executors and administrators through the often complex probate process, ensuring estates are administered efficiently, transparently, and in compliance with applicable succession laws in Kenya. Where disputes arise, we provide clear legal guidance aimed at resolving conflicts while protecting the integrity of the estate and the interests of beneficiaries.
Our Estate Planning and Trusts practice is built on discretion, precision, and foresight. We understand that these matters are deeply personal, often sensitive, and always significant. For this reason, we take a careful, confidential, and client-centred approach to every matter we handle.
Whether you are planning your estate, setting up a trust, or managing the affairs of a loved one, Hansen Advocates ensures the process is smooth, secure, and aligned with your wishes
