Dealing with property disputes

It is no secret that majority of civil cases in our courts touch on property. Even some of the criminal cases can be traced to wrangles over property distribution or disinheritance.

Kenya’s law, which is modelled after English laws, has little regard to local customary laws when it comes to issues of inheritance and more particularly land. Cases related to property might take several years to conclude and this impacts negatively on both litigants as they spend lots of money and time filing appeals, claims and counter claims.
