Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Kansas

Handling probate of minimal assets affordably
What rules and procedures apply in Ks for handling an estate without an attorney? My dad recently passed away in Wyandotte County, KS with no known will. He didn't own any real estate. His car is paid for but only worth about $700. His checking account has a few hundred dollars. He has an IRA but I haven't confirmed it's worth (last statement shows $5000). There is nothing in his personal property worth much money. I've found one active life insurance policy for $10,000 but he has a loan against it. The company wouldn't tell me the loan amount or the remaining death benefit. His credit card debt appears to be about $12,000. The funeral expenses were $4700 and I've incurred expenses of $800 so far to remove the trash and junk he'd accumulated in his apartment.

Re: Handling probate of minimal assets affordably

You may contact the WyCo Probate Court and speak with them about dong a small estate. I think their number is (913) 573-2834.

Good Luck,
