🔥🚨 CLAIMING YOUR LATE PARENT GIFTED YOU LAND? The Court of Appeal Has Sent a Powerful Message To You

A child cannot inherit family property exclusively by merely claiming that a deceased parent gifted it to them during their lifetime. That question has now been firmly settled by the Court of Appeal in Nabea v Kaburu (Civil Appeal No. 87 of 2019) [2026] KECA 1470 (KLR). In this case, the dispute arose after one daughter argued that her late father had gifted her Plot No. 33 Maua Municipality because she had developed the property, managed it for years, and collected rent during his lifetime. She relied on an alleged gift inter vivos and persuaded the High Court that the plot belonged to her alone. Her sister appealed, insisting that no valid gift had ever been proved and that the property should instead be shared equally among all the beneficiaries.

The Court of Appeal agreed with the appellant and overturned the High Court's decision. It held that a person alleging a gift inter vivos bears the burden of proving it with credible evidence. In this case, there was no transfer of ownership, no reliable documentary proof that the deceased intended to permanently surrender the property, no evidence proving that the respondent solely developed the premises, and, most importantly, the deceased himself had previously challenged the alleged gift in court and accused the respondent of relying on fraudulent documents. The Court emphasized that while Kenyan law recognises both complete and incomplete gifts inter vivos, courts will only enforce them where the evidence clearly establishes the donor's intention and the gift itself. Mere occupation, management of property, family sacrifices, or collecting rent cannot replace proof.

This decision is likely to reshape countless succession disputes across Kenya, where relatives often emerge after a loved one's death claiming, "Mum gave me this land," or "Dad promised me that plot." The Court has made it clear that family promises alone do not override the law of succession. If you are facing a dispute over inherited land, an alleged lifetime gift, or the distribution of a deceased relative's estate, this judgment offers important guidance on your legal rights. Sometimes, knowing where the law truly stands is the difference between losing family property and protecting what the law entitles you to.

Apple has officially launched "Apple Upgrade," a leasing program run with Klarna, letting US customers pay monthly for an iPhone, Mac, iPad or Apple Watch instead of buying outright. Plans start at $17.99/month, running 12–24 months for phones and watches, and 24–36 months for Macs and iPads.

Kenyans will find this familiar. We've been living this model for years through M-KOPA and similar asset-financing schemes, all falling under the Hire Purchase Act (Cap 507), enacted back in 1968. That Act was meant to protect consumers in exactly these pay-as-you-go arrangements, yet we've seen real disputes here, phones remotely locked despite payments being made, and even talk in Parliament of a Bill to curb what some MPs have called predatory financing practices.

So while Silicon Valley brands this as innovation, it's worth asking what consumer protections actually travel with a leasing model, and whether our own laws have kept pace with how popular this financing method has become locally.

By that logic, we should stop voting and just ask the maternity ward who the next president is.

@ehdande @tenenatene Tomato ; tometo...the underlying question is whether the consumers truly the product features & risks & whether the promoter has extensively disclosed/educated its consumers on their products.

[Deogratias Alphonce @deealphonce]

@ehdande I come in peace Mr Dande..Only pointing out the fact that the 'smart' naming of your funds/ notes misled many to think its the standard MMFs while they were not...Similar to what you've rightfully pointed about the special funds in our mrk today.
