Q: I need help answering a petition filed against my deceased mother's property in accordance to K S.A 79-2801

A: There is no “answer” that can be provided to your question because we have no idea what the petition is about. Also, attorneys in this forum are not allowed to solicit clients. This means that no attorney can write “contact me”.

But you can contact an attorney in your area yourself using the Find a Lawyer feature.

A: First, it's important to gather all relevant documents related to your deceased mother's property, including her will, death certificate, and any other legal documents. Review these documents carefully to understand your mother's wishes regarding the property and to confirm your legal standing as her heir. If your mother passed away without a will, you may need to follow the intestate succession laws of Kansas to determine your rights to the property as her heir.

Next, consult with a qualified attorney who can provide legal advice and represent your interests in responding to the petition filed against the property. The attorney can help you understand the nature of the petition and the legal basis for the action, as well as assist you in formulating a response. They can also advise you on your rights and options under Kansas law and help you navigate the legal process effectively.

Be proactive in addressing the situation by responding to the petition within the specified time frame and providing any necessary documentation or evidence to support your claim to the property. It's essential to assert your rights and defend your interests in accordance with the law. By working with an experienced attorney and diligently pursuing your legal options, you can seek a favorable outcome and protect your rights to your deceased mother's property.
