State whether the issue concerns a Malindi property, a transaction made locally or an existing Malindi court matter. If you live elsewhere, explain your connection to the agreement and who can provide the original records. Keep those practical details separate from the outcome you hope to achieve.
Common reasons to seek legal help in Malindi
Property ownership and sale disagreements
For a purchase or disputed ownership, preserve the property documents given to you, the agreement, payments and communications. Identify any competing document or assertion without assuming that a receipt alone answers the ownership question.
Read the legal guide →Leases, business arrangements and unpaid money
For a tenancy, management arrangement, supplier account or debt, organise the obligations, dates and payment record. Explain whether the disagreement concerns the agreement itself, performance, termination or a balance said to be due.
Read the legal guide →Employment and family matters
Record the current stage: an ongoing workplace process, employment that has ended, a family discussion or a matter with existing court orders. Include the relevant letters or orders so the enquiry can focus on the next decision.
Read the legal guide →When you already have a Malindi court document
Read the full court name from the notice, pleading or order. Malindi has separate profiles for the High Court, Environment and Land Court, Employment and Labour Relations Court, Law Courts and Small Claims Court. Preserve the complete document, including its date and any directions, rather than relying only on a screenshot of the heading.
What to prepare before contacting an advocate
- The relevant property or transaction location and your connection to it.
- The agreement and a schedule of payments or disputed balances.
- A short account of what each party says is wrong.
- Complete court documents and any hearing or compliance date.
Include an urgent hearing, notice or deadline at the beginning of your enquiry. Do not send a large unexplained bundle; start with a short account and identify the documents supporting it.
