Eve: What is a will and why is it important in Kenya?
Oriku: A will is a legal document in which a person, known as the testator, expresses their wishes regarding the distribution of their assets upon their death.
It plays a crucial role in ensuring that property is distributed as per the testator's intentions, reducing family disputes, and providing clarity in estate administration.
The importance of a will is underscored in The Law of Succession Act (Cap 160), which governs succession matters in Kenya.
