The Parents Legacy Tracker Checklist

Why this matters now

Assets disappear — not because there was nothing to inherit

Most Kenyan families lose track of what a parent built — not because they didn't care, but because nobody ever sat down together and documented it. When the time comes, accounts freeze, chamas absorb contributions back into the group fund, and the title deed cannot be found. All of it preventable — in one afternoon, one section at a time, while your parent can still walk you through it.

“A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children.” — Proverbs 13:22. This checklist helps that inheritance actually arrive.

One afternoon. One parent. Everything documented.

Your parent has spent decades building. A piece of land in their home county. A chama they have contributed to faithfully for fifteen years. A bank account with a beneficiary registered from a different era. An NSSF balance nobody has ever checked.

This free checklist gives you the six most important things to document with your aging parent — accounts, land, chamas, insurance, burial wishes — while they can still walk you through it.

Health & Medical

NHIF, private cover, medications, known conditions, emergency contacts.

Financial Accounts

Banks, M-Pesa, SACCOs, NSSF, pensions — where every shilling lives.

Chamas & Table Banking

Every group, share capital, registered beneficiaries, and what to bring when claiming.

Property & Land

Title deeds, LR numbers, and exactly where every document is kept.

Insurance & Protection

Life cover, funeral cover, beneficiaries — what is in place and what is missing.

Legal & Final Wishes

The Will, Power of Attorney, burial wishes, and who leads when the time comes.

This checklist is for you if

You are the child who shows up before things get difficult

  • Your parent is over 50 and you have never properly had the money conversation
  • You don't know whether they have a Will — or where it is
  • You don't know how many chamas they belong to, or whether you are the registered beneficiary
  • You know a medical emergency would send your family scrambling
  • You want to start the conversation but don't know how

Why this checklist exists

“I have seen what happens to African families who were not prepared. The disputes. The accounts that froze because nobody knew the beneficiary had never been registered. I built this checklist because the conversation is not hard — it just needs to start. This is how it starts.”
