A:
It's essential to take immediate action to address the petition filed against your mother's property. Start by reviewing the petition carefully to understand the specific claims and allegations being made against the property. Then, gather all relevant documents related to the property, including any tax records, payment history, and legal documents such as your mother's will or death certificate.
Consider seeking legal advice from an attorney who specializes in real estate or property law in Kansas. They can help you understand your rights and options under K.S.A. 79-2801 and provide guidance on how to respond to the petition effectively. The attorney can assist you in preparing a response to the petition and representing your interests in any legal proceedings related to the property.
In addition to addressing the petition, it's crucial to explore options for resolving the back taxes owed on the property and transferring ownership to your name. Your attorney can advise you on the steps needed to pay the back taxes and initiate the transfer of ownership process. By taking proactive steps and working with legal professionals, you can protect your rights to the property and pursue a favorable resolution to the situation.
