What happens if one of the proeprties are in his fathers name, should it be transferred to him first before it goes to the trust, or could the further transfer it tot he trust directly?

In Nairobi County, if a property is in the father's name, the father can transfer it directly to the trust. However, it's important that the father consents to this transfer and it aligns with his estate planning goals. Make sure to document the transfer properly to establish the trust's ownership.

This is excellent, what happens when he acquires additional property and needs to add it to the trust? do we revoke the ealier trust...what if he needs to amend the trust, would irrevocable trust have been the best choice of instrument in this case?
Case Rating: *
For an irrevocable trust:
- Adding property requires specific procedures, often needing a new trust to encompass new assets.
- Amending the trust is limited due to its permanent nature.
- Revocable trusts offer more flexibility in adding or altering property, but with less asset protection than irrevocable trusts.

Can we list the children as trustees? No
Case Rating: *
In Nairobi County, listing children as trustees is generally not advisable due to legal capacity and fiduciary responsibility concerns. Trustees should be adults capable of managing trust assets. Consider appointing a guardian or adult trustee to act on behalf of young beneficiaries.
