View this case - free  

Overview: Because the decedent did not reserve his growing crops in his transfer-on-death deed, the growing crops passed with the title to the land to his employee as the grantee beneficiary; thus, title vested in the employee immediately upon the decedent's death under Kan. Stat. Ann. § 59-3504.

View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court abused its discretion by refusing to enter a final order dividing the marital property under Kan. Stat.

View this case - free  

Overview: Summary judgment was entered for the State in a negligence case arising from an injury suffered at a juvenile facility during educational activities because immunity existed under Kan. Stat. Ann. § 75-6104(u); moreover, an equal protection argument was meritless since there was a rational basis in the promotion of education for juvenile offenders.
