Justice Hillary Chemitei ruled that the Will prepared by the late Roger Bryan Robson in 1997 was valid and properly executed.
The decision dismissed claims that the document was forged.
Court finds Will was legally prepared
Robson, who died on August 8, 2012, named lawyer Guy Spencer Elms and Sean Battye as executors of his estate.
However, Battye later stepped down after relocating abroad, leaving Elms to manage the estate.
Justice Chemitei found that Robson voluntarily prepared the Will with the help of a qualified advocate.
The judge said there was no evidence showing that Robson acted under pressure or influence.
Rival parties challenged inheritance plans
Several parties challenged the Will, including businessman Thomas Murima Mutaha and Ms Kagure.
Mutaha, a director of Plovers Haunt Ltd, claimed an interest in an Upper Hill property linked to the estate.
Kagure also claimed she bought a parcel of land in Karen from Robson in 2011.
Both questioned the authenticity of the Will.
However, the court rejected their claims and found no evidence proving fraud or forgery.
Estate to follow deceased’s wishes
Robson died without children and directed that his assets be sold.
The proceeds were to benefit his nephew and local environmental charities.
Justice Chemitei ruled that failure to list every property in the Will did not make it invalid.
The judge noted that any omitted assets could be handled separately under succession law.
Land disputes referred to another court
The court directed that disputes involving three contested properties should proceed before the Environment and Land Court.
Justice Chemitei said those claims involved property ownership and contracts rather than inheritance matters.
Kagure’s claim that she purchased the Karen property for KSh100 million will now be examined by the land court.
The ruling brings clarity to the validity of Robson’s Will, while leaving property ownership disputes for further determination.
