Building back home shouldn't depend on phone calls and promises. Ras Khaima Trust verifies, monitors and coordinates your Kenyan projects on the ground — with a licensed advocate accountable for every step.
One point of contact in Kenya for everything that normally requires a relative, a broker and a lot of hope.
Agreements, powers of attorney, company registration and other legal work — handled by a licensed Kenyan advocate.
What's included: drafting and review of sale agreements, leases and contracts; powers of attorney so trusted decisions can be made while you're abroad; business and company registration; succession and estate guidance; and general legal advice on your Kenyan affairs.
How it works: tell us what you need on WhatsApp or email. Our advocate assesses the matter and gives you a written quote and timeline before any work begins.
You receive: properly drafted, legally valid documents and clear advice — your affairs in Kenya handled the right way, from anywhere.
Official land searches, title deed checks and document authentication — confirmed through legal channels before your money moves.
What's included: official search at the relevant land registry, confirmation of the registered owner, checks for charges, caveats or disputes on the title, and authentication of supporting documents (IDs, agreements, rates clearance).
How it works: you send us copies of the documents or the property details. Our advocate runs the searches through official channels and reviews everything.
You receive: a written verification report stating exactly what was found — before you commit a single shilling.
KRA, eCitizen, good conduct, passports, certificates — we go to the offices and stand in the queues, so you don't fly home for paperwork.
What's included: KRA PIN and tax compliance follow-ups, police clearance (good conduct) applications and collection, passport and ID renewals, birth, marriage and academic certificates, eCitizen and NTSA portal tasks, and general office errands — bill payments, bank visits, document drop-offs and collections.
How it works: tell us what you need and send the supporting details. We handle the applications, attend the offices in person, and follow up until it's done.
You receive: step-by-step status updates and your documents delivered or securely held for collection — without booking a flight.
Regular site visits with photo and video reports, so your construction progresses the way the contractor says it does.
What's included: scheduled site visits (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly), photo and video documentation of progress, checks against the work the contractor reports, and flagging of delays or shortcuts.
How it works: we agree a visit schedule for your project. Our team attends in person and documents what is actually on the ground.
You receive: a dated report with photos/video after every visit — your eyes on site, from anywhere in the world.
Independent audit of a stalled, troubled or completed project — what was spent, what was actually built, and where things stand.
What's included: physical site inspection with photo and video evidence, review of receipts, invoices and contractor records against actual work done, an independent assessment of work quality and value, and identification of gaps between money sent and work delivered.
How it works: you share what was agreed, what was paid and any records you have. We inspect the ground truth and reconcile the two — with legal review where recovery or further action may be needed.
You receive: a clear written audit report with evidence — what exists, what's missing, what it would take to complete, and your options going forward.
Structure for investors doing joint projects in Kenya — built-in checks and balances so every partner's money and role is protected.
What's included: legally drafted partnership and joint-venture agreements defining each partner's contribution, role and share; milestone-based fund release so money moves only when agreed stages are verified; independent progress verification and periodic reporting to all partners; and dispute-resolution terms agreed before the project starts.
How it works: the partners agree the project and terms — we put the structure around it. Our advocate drafts the agreements, and our team independently verifies progress at each milestone before the next release.
You receive: a properly structured joint project where no single partner controls everything — documented contributions, verified milestones, and the same periodic reports to every partner.
Worried the developer isn't genuine, or the land has hidden issues? This is the service that answers both — before your money moves.
What's included: developer due diligence — company registration, track record, past projects and reputation; verification of the seller's identity and legal right to sell; full title check for caveats, disputes and charges; physical confirmation of boundaries and beacons; and legal review of the sale or off-plan agreement before you sign.
How it works: you found the property or development — we make sure it is what it claims to be. We accompany the transaction from offer to transfer, flagging problems while you can still walk away.
You receive: a clear written verdict on the developer and the land, stage-by-stage updates, and a go/no-go recommendation at each step.
We source houses and plots across Kenya, vet the seller and title, and walk the purchase to completion on your behalf.
What's included: property sourcing based on your budget and location preferences, site visits with photos/video, full title and seller vetting, price negotiation support, and legal handling of the transfer.
How it works: tell us what you're looking for — area, size, budget. We shortlist real options, verify them, and manage the purchase end to end.
You receive: a verified shortlist, documentation at every stage, and a completed, legally clean purchase.
Guidance and handling of visa applications and supporting documents for family visits, travel and invitations.
What's included: advice on the right visa category, preparation and review of application forms, compiling supporting documents (invitations, financial letters, itineraries), and follow-up on the application.
How it works: we assess your situation, tell you exactly what's needed, and prepare the application properly the first time.
You receive: a complete, correctly prepared application and updates until a decision is issued.
Vetted accommodation and stay arrangements for your visits home — booked and confirmed before you land.
What's included: sourcing of BnBs, apartments or hotels matched to your budget and location, physical vetting where needed, booking and payment coordination, check-in arrangements, and coordination of domestic flights and in-country travel for your trip — booked through licensed agents, paid directly by you wherever possible.
How it works: send us your dates, group size and budget. We present vetted options with real photos — not listing photos.
You receive: confirmed bookings and a contact on the ground if anything needs sorting during your stay.
End-to-end handling of car imports into Kenya — sourcing support, shipping, duty clearance and registration, without the runaround.
What's included: guidance on eligible vehicles (age limits and import rules), coordination with shipping lines, KRA duty calculation and payment facilitation, port clearance through licensed agents, inspection, registration and number plates.
How it works: tell us the vehicle you're buying or want sourced. We handle the process from port of origin to the car parked where you want it.
You receive: documented updates at every stage, all official receipts, and a registered vehicle delivered clean — no surprise "extra fees."
Coordination of customs clearance and freight forwarding for your goods and shipments — handled through licensed agents, documented at every step.
What's included: liaison with licensed clearing agents at the port or airport, customs documentation review, duty and tax payment facilitation, cargo tracking, and onward transport of your goods.

Returning to Kenya, or moving things within it? We coordinate the shipping, customs clearance and delivery of your household — door to door.
What's included: container and shipping coordination through licensed movers, customs clearance for household goods — including guidance on returning-resident duty exemptions where you qualify — delivery and offloading at your home, and local moves within Kenya for your property or family.
How it works: tell us what's moving and where it's going. We plan the route, handle the paperwork through licensed agents, and track your goods until they're inside your door.
You receive: a written plan and quote upfront, clearance documents and receipts, and your belongings delivered — without the port horror stories.
Vehicle mobilization, airport pickups and general logistics — coordinated on the ground so things happen on time.
What's included: airport pickups and drop-offs, vehicle hire with vetted drivers, scheduling for multi-stop trips, coordination of domestic flights (Nairobi–Mombasa, safari hops and more) through licensed agents, and coordination of deliveries or errands you need handled locally.
How it works: tell us your itinerary or what needs moving. We arrange reliable transport and confirm every step.
You receive: confirmed arrangements with driver details in advance — no waiting, no surprises at the airport.
Built to be diaspora-friendly — honest rates you can plan around. Every job is confirmed with a written quote covering a defined scope; anything beyond that scope is quoted separately, before we proceed. No surprise invoices, ever.
Document & title verification from USD 80. Seller and BnB vetting from USD 40. Flat fee, written report, fast turnaround.
From USD 100/month including two site visits with photo & video reports. Extra visits quoted per visit.

Client funds for purchases are never held by Ras Khaima Trust — transactions run through legal channels with full documentation.
Simple by design. You stay where you are — we do the moving.
Reach us on WhatsApp or email. We agree on the task, the timeline and the fee — in writing, before anything starts.
Our team verifies, visits, books or coordinates — with legal review where documents and transactions are involved.
Written reports, photos and documents delivered to you directly. You decide the next step with real information.
We exist because too many projects back home stall on misplaced trust. Ours is structured differently.
Operations are supervised by Maulid Mohamed, Advocate — a practicing partner at a Nairobi law firm with deep experience in real estate, conveyancing and land due diligence. Your matters are handled within the law, not around it.
We work for you — not for sellers, contractors or agents. No commissions from the other side of your transaction.
Scope, fees and findings are documented. You'll never have to act on "don't worry, it's handled."
Every active project runs on a progress-tracking system with periodic updates — so you can monitor everything from wherever you are, without chasing anyone.
Your job is broken into clear stages from day one. At any moment you know which stage your project is at, what's done, and what's next.
Updates arrive on an agreed schedule — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly — with photos, video and a short written summary. You monitor progress as it happens, not after the fact.
At each key stage — before money moves, before documents are signed — you get a clear status summary and a go/no-go decision point. Nothing proceeds without you.
Every engagement at Ras Khaima Trust runs under the supervision of a licensed Kenyan advocate.
Maulid is a Partner at KO Associates LLP, Nairobi, where he heads the Banking, Real Estate & Construction practice. He holds an LLB from the University of Nairobi.
Every Ras Khaima Trust engagement runs under his supervision — searches through official channels, agreements reviewed before signing, and findings you can act on. Your matters handled within the law, by someone you can verify.
