We help families write wills and deal with estates, privately and without delay.
Which succession rules apply to an estate in Tanzania depends on the person as well as the assets. It is best worked out while there is still time to plan.
Tanzania applies statutory, Islamic and customary succession regimes, and the court that hears an estate depends on which of them applies and on what the estate is worth. We draft wills, structure family and business assets, and act for executors, administrators and beneficiaries through probate and administration.
Petitions for probate and for letters of administration, collection and distribution of assets, and the transfers and registrations that follow the grant. We act for executors, administrators and beneficiaries.
Wills, guardianship, and the treatment of a business interest on death. We identify which succession regime applies and what it means for a spouse, children and any dependants.
Trusts and holding structures for family assets, including property held in a family name, together with the records an administrator will need to find later.
We explain the rules that apply, the choices that belong to the family, and what we would do. A named partner handles it and keeps you informed at each stage. On a private client case that includes what passes under the will and what does not.
No. Jointly held assets, nominated benefits, and assets held through a company or a trust pass outside the will. Those are checked separately.
The estate is administered under the regime that applies to the deceased, and the family nominates an administrator for the court to appoint. It takes longer and leaves less room for choice.
For a will, a codicil or a straightforward probate petition, we agree a fixed fee before starting.
Tell us whose estate it is, what the family owns and where it is held. We will explain which succession rules apply and what to do first.
