Family Trusts & Asset Protection

Don’t Just Build Wealth. Build a Fortress.

FACT: Since 2020, a simple Will is no longer enough. Protect your family assets from creditors, probate delays, and evolving tax laws with a legally robust Family Trust.

Why a Family Trust?

  1. Probate Avoidance: In Kenya, succession cases can freeze assets for years. A Trust ensures your family has access to funds the next day, not the next decade.
  2. Asset Protection: Under the Trustees (Perpetual Succession) Act, a properly structured irrevocable trust shields your wealth from business creditors and personal liability.
  3. Absolute Privacy: Unlike a Will, which becomes a public court document, your Trust Deed remains a private agreement. Your net worth is your business.
  4. Tax Efficiency: Leverage Stamp Duty Relief and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Exemptions on property transfers into a registered family trust.

What We Protect (The Asset Portfolio)

We help you move the following into your “Wealth Fortress”:

  1. Real Estate: Family homes, rental apartments (onboarded to eRITS), and commercial land.
  2. Business Equity: Shares in your Operating Companies or private firms.
  3. Financial Assets: Life Insurance Policies, Bills, bonds, and offshore investment accounts.
  4. Intellectual Property: Brand assets, trademarks, and Copyrights (the “Narrative Infrastructure” of your firm).

The Wealth Mastery Roadmap (The Process)

  1. Discovery & Design: We map out your beneficiaries and “Settlor Wishes.”
  2. Trust Deed Drafting: Creating a “Watertight” legal instrument.
  3. Registration & Incorporation: Navigating the BRS (Business Registration Service) and eCitizen portals to obtain your Certificate of Incorporation.
  4. KRA & Compliance: Securing a Trust PIN and ensuring your “Register of Beneficial Owners” is filed to avoid the KRA’s new 100k+ penalties.
  5. Asset Seeding: Executing the legal transfer of titles and deeds.


FAQ for the Kenyan Wealth Maker

  • Q: Can I still be in control?
    • Victor’s Answer: Yes. As the Settlor, you can be a beneficiary and, in some cases, a co-trustee, ensuring you “own nothing, but control everything.”
  • Q: Is it expensive?
    • Victor’s Answer: The cost of not having one (legal fees in probate or lost assets in a lawsuit) is 100x the cost of setup.
  • Q: What about the new KRA monitoring?
    • Victor’s Answer: We structure your trust for transparency with the authorities while maintaining maximum private protection for the family.
