We don’t just provide opinions; we provide evidence. Our forensic reports and expert testimonies are fully compliant with:

Land Fraud Defense: Protecting Your Property

Land fraud in Kenya has reached a level of high sophistication. Fraudsters now utilize “Replica Titles” with genuine serial numbers and artificial aging techniques to bypass standard registry checks. Our lab provides specialized support to expose:

  • Title Deed Authentication: Identifying fraudulent seals, back-dated government stamps, and paper inconsistencies using UV and Infrared analysis.
  • Sales Agreement Verification: Forensic signature comparison to prove if a transfer document was signed by the rightful owner or an impostor.
  • Succession & Inheritance Protection: Detecting forged signatures on Wills and Codicils to protect family estates from “succession scammers.”
  • Registry & Ardhisasa Audit: Forensic verification of manual and digital land records to expose parallel registrations.

The Science of Truth: Our Forensic Laboratory

We utilize laboratory-grade technology that justifies your legal strategy and separates our findings from standard private investigations:

  • Video Spectral Comparator (VSC) Analysis: We use UV and Infrared light spectrums to reveal erasures, additions, and alterations invisible to the naked eye.
  • Ink Differentiation: Proving that two different pens were used on the same document—a key indicator of fraudulent “add-ons” to contracts.
  • Indented Writing Recovery: Using electrostatic detection to reveal “ghost” impressions from pages that were once on top of the questioned document.
  • Paper Aging & Fiber Analysis: Scientifically determining if the paper type and chemical composition match the alleged date of the document.

Our Forensic Services Portfolio

  • Handwriting & Signature Verification: Forged signatures on bank guarantees, loan applications, and corporate contracts.
  • Document Alteration Detection: Identifying “chemical erasures” where names, dates, or amounts have been changed.
  • Anonymous Letter Analysis: Forensic profiling and authorship identification for threatening or fraudulent correspondence.
  • Expert Witness Testimony: Our lead examiners provide professional oral testimony to defend our findings in the witness box.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is a forensic document report admissible in Kenyan courts?

Yes. Under Section 50 of the Kenya Evidence Act (CAP 80), the opinion of a qualified examiner upon a point of handwriting or document authenticity is admissible as evidence. We provide certified reports specifically structured for the High Court and the Environment and Land Court (ELC).

2. Can you detect a forgery if the original document is missing?

While original documents are preferred for the highest level of certainty, we can often perform a preliminary analysis on high-resolution photocopies or digital scans. However, for “ink differentiation” or “indented writing recovery,” the original physical document is required.

3. How long does a handwriting analysis take?

For urgent litigation matters, we provide a Preliminary Forensic Opinion within 24–48 hours. A comprehensive, court-ready Expert Report typically takes 3 to 5 business days, depending on the complexity of the case and the number of sample signatures required.

4. Can you prove a Land Title Deed is fake?

Yes. We analyze the security features of the document, including the seal, the paper fiber, the printing method, and the authenticity of the signatures and stamps. We can detect if a title is a “replica” even if it uses a genuine serial number.

5. What do I need to provide for a signature verification?

You need to provide the “Questioned Document” (the one you suspect is fake) and several “Specimen/Known Signatures” (confirmed genuine signatures from the individual in question, ideally from around the same time period).
