Probate in Kansas
Kansas pays executors and attorneys just and reasonable fees, with no statutory percentage, plus court fees. A small estate affidavit never reaches real property, however small the house is. Creditors have four months, and the court, not the executor, decides which administration track an estate follows. Kansas has no estate or inheritance tax.
Personal Injury in Kansas
Kansas gives two years for injury, property damage and wrongful death claims alike. Recovery is barred the moment your fault reaches 50%, not 51%. Noneconomic damages are uncapped since the Kansas Supreme Court's decision in Hilburn v. Enerpipe, and attorney fees face only the reasonableness standard in the professional conduct rules. Kansas is also a no-fault auto state, with a PIP claim and a threshold to meet before a pain and suffering claim.
Family Law in Kansas
Kansas uses age-based child support schedules and a worksheet, with shares, a parenting time adjustment, insurance, child care and ability to pay. Maintenance has no formula but is capped at 121 months. Marital property is divided in a just and reasonable way after weighing ten factors, with no set percentage. A divorce requires 60 days of residence before filing and 60 days after filing before a hearing.
