Family Law & Succession

Family legal matters are among the most personal and emotionally charged situations our clients face. Ganzala & Ganzala Advocates approaches every family and succession instruction with sensitivity, discretion, and a commitment to achieving outcomes that serve the long-term well-being of all involved.

Our family law practice covers the full range of matrimonial and family disputes under the Marriage Act, the Matrimonial Property Act, the Children Act, and the Succession Act. We represent individuals in the Family Division of the High Court and in magistrates' courts across Kenya.

On succession, we guide families through the grant of probate or letters of administration, the administration of estates, and the distribution of assets — including complex estates involving multiple properties, businesses, and overseas assets. We also advise on estate planning to minimise future disputes and tax exposure.

Where disputes arise within families, we always explore the possibility of mediated resolution before proceeding to contested litigation, understanding that court battles within families can cause lasting damage to relationships that matter.
