Brian Asin & Co. Advocates LLP provides family, succession and trusts legal services to individuals and families across Kenya and the region. We support clients to plan, protect and transfer wealth responsibly, while managing sensitive family matters with professionalism, discretion and respect. Our focus is to provide clear legal structure that preserves dignity, reduces uncertainty and safeguards family interests across generations.
Our work begins with understanding your family circumstances, assets, obligations and long-term intentions, then advising on the most suitable legal pathway. We assist with estate planning, drafting and reviewing wills, structuring trusts, advising on guardianship considerations, and guiding clients on practical asset protection options. Where clients have complex family structures, business interests or cross-border considerations, we help ensure planning remains legally sound and aligned with the client’s wishes.
When a loved one passes, we guide families through succession administration in a structured, step-by-step manner. We assist with preparing and filing petitions, obtaining grants, confirmations of grant, asset identification and documentation, distribution arrangements and related court processes. We also advise executors and administrators on fiduciary duties, compliance requirements and practical management of estate matters to ensure the process is handled efficiently and transparently.
Where disputes arise, we provide practical dispute resolution support while protecting family relationships where possible. We advise on objections, protests, contested distributions, claims against estates and other family-related disputes, pursuing settlement where it is reasonable and litigating firmly where necessary. Clients value our confidentiality, clarity of advice and steady guidance—ensuring family and succession matters are handled with care, strong legal structure and a focus on fair, defensible outcomes.
