Conversion of Land Titles
Conversion is a statutory process aimed at unifying the registration of all land parcels in Kenya in line with the provisions of the Land Registration Act, 2012.
The process involves the application for replacement of the title by an Advocate, the surrender of a property owner’s original title to the Ministry of Lands and the issuance of a new title document with a new title number.
Before engaging in any property-related transaction, it is imperative to confirm whether the o title has been listed for conversion and thereafter proceed to convert or verify the title through the Ardhisasa system.
Our team of legal experts seamlessly guides you through this process, leveraging the Ardhi Sasa platform for efficient and streamlined title conversion.
Partner with our team of experts to smoothly navigate the land title conversion process with utmost ease and assurance.
