MAKUENI COUNTY LAUNCHES LEGAL CLINIC ON LAND SUCCESSION.
The Office of the County Attorney on Wednesday rolled out a legal clinic in Kathonzweni Ward to educate residents on land succession laws and provide free legal assistance.
The initiative aims at clarifying the law of succession, including procedures for inheritance when a person dies intestate and the legal steps required to transfer property to rightful beneficiaries.
The exercise in Kathinzweni was led by County Solicitor, Jennifer Kyumwa.
The legal clinics will offer vulnerable citizens free legal support on land and succession matters.
Speaking during the exercise, area MCA Hon. Kennedy Maneno noted that the exercise provided residents with vital information on the legal documents necessary for inheritance and land ownership.
This initiative, funded through the Ward Development Fund, will extend to other six wards: Emali/Mulala, Wote/Nziu, Kitise/Kithuki, Kasikeu, Tulimani, and Kithungo/Kitundu.
By addressing land succession challenges, the initiative aligns with Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr.’s vision of empowering communities with legal knowledge and ensuring the fair distribution of property among rightful heirs.
