Form LRA 50 (Application to be Registered as Proprietor by Transmission) is a land registration document used in Kenya when property is transmitted from a deceased proprietor to beneficiaries of the estate through a personal representative. This form is jurisdiction-specific to Kenya and is governed by regulation 62(1) of the Land Registration (General) Regulations, 2017, enacted under the Land Registration Act, 2012 (No. 3 of 2012).
This advocate-reviewed template is available for download on wansom.ai and is intended for personal representatives (executors or administrators), beneficiaries of deceased estates, land registrars, advocates handling estate administration and succession matters, and heirs entitled to inherit registered land. Transmission occurs when land is transferred by operation of law upon death, rather than by a voluntary sale or gift, and requires proper documentation including a grant of probate or letters of administration.
The downloadable template requires the title number, details of the deceased proprietor, date of death, date of grant of will or letters of administration, date of confirmation, personal representative details as transferor, and beneficiary details as transferee. The personal representative transfers the deceased's interest in the property to the entitled beneficiaries. The transfer is subject to the Land Registration Act, 2012, the Land Act, 2012, and interests noted in the register. The form must specify whether transferees hold the land as joint proprietors or as proprietors in common with undivided shares. Both transferor and transferee must execute the document as a deed with verification pursuant to Section 45 of the Land Registration Act, including authentication through colored photographs, ID/passport numbers, and PIN numbers. This legally compliant, ready-to-use template ensures proper transmission of land from deceased estates to rightful beneficiaries within Kenya's land registration system.
