How A 'mpango wa kando’ Can Inherit Your Husband’s Property Legally

Can a woman who was never legally married to a man still inherit part of his estate after he dies? In this Court Helicopter Explainer, we unpack Sections 26 and 29 of the Law of Succession and explain how a woman who was financially dependent on a deceased man may ask the court for reasonable provision from his estate. We also discuss how evidence such as M-Pesa statements, bank transfers, payment of rent, medical bills, school fees, and other financial support may be presented in succession proceedings. This episode explores one of the most controversial areas of succession law and explains the legal concept of dependency, the rights of dependants, and what happens when someone claims to be a "wife for the purpose of succession." Watch to understand what the law says, who may qualify to make such a claim, and how Kenyan courts approach these cases. #CourtHelicopter #LawOfSuccession #SuccessionLaw #InheritanceLaw #KenyaLaw #LegalExplainer #CourtNews #MilimaniLawCourts #EstatePlanning #InheritanceRights #Dependants #Section29 #Section26 #PropertyDisputes #FamilyLaw #MpangoWaKando #MarriageLaw #KenyanCourts #LegalEducation #KnowYourRights
