Protecting what you build is as important as building it. Amentem helps individuals and families plan their finances, write valid wills, and arrange succession under Ghanaian law — including the cross-border estates that diaspora families so often need to coordinate.
What we do
We provide personal financial planning, draft wills that are valid under Ghanaian law, structure trusts and succession, and coordinate estates that span Ghana and other countries.
What's included
Personal financial planning; wills valid under Ghanaian law; succession and inheritance planning; trust structuring; and cross-border estate coordination for families at home and abroad.
Why Amentem

Who this is for
- Individuals with property or business interests in Ghana
- Diaspora families with assets in two countries
- Parents wanting to protect children's inheritance
- Anyone without a valid will

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a will under Ghanaian law?
Without a valid will, Ghanaian intestacy rules decide who inherits — often not as you would wish. A properly drafted will protects your family and your intentions.
Can you help with an estate that spans two countries?
Yes. Cross-border estate coordination for diaspora families is a core part of this service, aligning your Ghana assets with your affairs abroad.

Where we work
We are headquartered in Accra and work across Ghana — Kumasi, Takoradi, Tamale, Cape Coast and Ho — and with clients throughout West Africa, including Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal and Togo.
Beyond the region, we support companies expanding into East and Southern African markets such as Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and South Africa under the AfCFTA, and we advise international businesses entering Africa for the first time.
We also work extensively with the diaspora. Whether you are in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands or the Gulf, we act as your accountable team on the ground and report in your time zone.
Working with Amentem
Every engagement is led by a partner, not handed to a junior. You get one accountable point of contact, written updates you can act on, and clear scope agreed before any work starts — so you always know what is being done, by whom, and what it costs.
We work remotely as standard, which means distance is never a barrier. Documents are shared securely, meetings are scheduled around your time zone, and you receive the same standard of service whether you are down the road in Accra or several continents away.
What it costs and how long it takes
Every engagement is scoped and priced before it starts, so there are no surprises. Smaller pieces of work are quoted as a fixed fee; ongoing support is available on a monthly retainer. We will tell you honestly if what you need is smaller than you think, or if it is not something we should be doing for you at all.
Timelines depend on what is involved and on third parties such as registries, regulators and counterparties. We give you a realistic schedule at the outset and tell you promptly when something outside our control changes it.
Why this matters
Most of the expensive problems we are asked to fix were cheap to prevent. A missed filing, an unverified title, a system nobody was trained on, a contract nobody read — each starts small and compounds. Getting this right early costs a fraction of correcting it later, and it removes the risk that quietly limits what your organisation can do next.
