@Maka How much will you charge? (My Economics lecturer taught me that there is no free lunch )

My friend(make all the jokes you want!) has a father who's pine is everywhere. He has fathered a few bastards and taken off. What cause of action is there to make him introduce all of them to each other and pay some sort of punitive damages?

Hi, does the Law Of Adverse Posession also apply to commercialproperties or only shamba's?

@Maka - Here we go!

The provision relating to Adverse possession is to be found in Section 38 of the Limitations of Actions Act. If you look at that provision carefully as read with Order 37 Rule 7 of the Civil Procedure Rules it is clear that the following conditions must be satisfied for one to file suit for adverse possession: Factual possession-you must be ON the land, Animus possidendi (intention to possess, not intention to own) and Possession is adverse meaning that this staying on the land MUST be uninterrupted. The key word is 'land'. Commercial premises do not fall under the description envisaged in Section 38 unless you are squatting on land that has a commercial building in which case you will be entitled to the portion of land that you are on

hi, just wondering the steps to follow when purchasing a plot from a deceased person..i feel brokers are green on their explanation..

am purchasing a plot in limuru (from a 12 acre)..the owner died and they reported the death and was gazeted..they forwarded the names of the benefiicaries and the grant is out..

the broker tells me to pay some money to facilitate the surveying of the land coz they are humble..he also tells me that my name will be added to the beneficiary list to make work easier and reduce land rate!..Is it possible...at what point should i pay some money..??currently the title is of the deceased, in case i was to pay what will agreement entail.

2ndly one of the beneficiary in not ready to part with a portion of his share to be allocated for the access road!claiming is too much..what is the required feets(27??) and claims he doesnt need the title to survive..is there a way he can be compelled by law?the others hav no issue only one out of the nine pple coz they also want to sell.

what would happen if one of the beneficiary withholds the title?broker tells me that we can go for a special board! possible??

if the process goes through for how long will i wait for the title to be out.and a map.

All is not lost. What is the historical trend? If true you got basis to claim.

I am waiting to hear the response on this one because i know someone in similar position.

Sorry kazi mingi am replying all your queries ASAP...
