@apricot, weka co-ordinates hapa tuone ni wepi, will view, weka bei then we can talk.

My friend,you will have to choose a trusted friend or your wife and see a lawyer to guide you on drafting a document called"the power of attorney"which gives a second party the authority to act on behalf of the owner or 1st party..

You don't to give a power of attorney which can be very unsafe. Do this. When you come in August, get a decent lawyer. Ideally this should be from a reputable firm. He can drift agreements with your buyers which he emails to u

I have been away for so long (over 10 yrs) that over time I have learnt to rely & develop good relationships with two or so dependable people. I look after their interests as they do mine. I could never achieve many things that I have without them.

That said, I am of the impression that in the Power of Attorney, one can define very specific actions allowed to the persons granted the power and very specific limitations like no sale process without owners signature, etc. Is that what you mean by an unsafe power of attorney @ Mainat?

I don't want to burst your bubble about your friends but 10yrs my friend is a long time.

If you are coming in August, I suggest you wait until then to see what kind of friendship you will have until then.

Yes you can sell your property without being on site. But it carries huge amounts of risk. Come back in August,go straight to a lawyer and get your things in order including who you're going to pick in your power of attorney. You can spend this time trying to figure out who's a good attorney.

Please remember this is Kenya. Things happen. I have personal experience in this matter. I also have a few friends who can bear witness to what I've just advised.

One of them was "building" a five story apartment complex. Trusted family and friends. They bought a piece of land. Nice building, updates and even pictures. On coming back, found out that the building was not on his kaplot but on the next plot which his "trusted advisory team" had bought.

Needless to say that this really is Kenya and his case went nowhere.

Come back and get your things in order. Don't you dare trust anyone who's children you can't kidnap and extort, especially if you are 10yrs gone. Be safe and you will be happy.
