Guiding Those Left Behind in Kansas

By AMELIA E. POHL, ESQ.  and Kansas Attorney T. Michael Wilson

    Copyright 2007  ISBN 1-932464-23-9   6" X 9"   286 pages    $35.00

 

 This book is a must for those who have experienced or anticipate the loss of a loved one in the state of Kansas. It explains all of the legal and practical things that need to be done. In particular, the book discusses:

  •  What needs to be done during the first week, answering questions such as:                              Is an autopsy necessary? Should we allow an anatomical gift?

  • How to notify public and private agencies of the death

  •  How to locate the decedent’s assets

  • What bill do (or do not) need to be paid

  •  When Probate is (and is not) necessary

  •  Whether you should consider a challenge to the Will

  •  How to get possession of the decedent’s property

  •  What are the legal rights of the surviving spouse and other family members

As you read the first six chapters, you will become aware of the many problems that can come up when someone dies in Kansas. With a bit of planning, most, if not all, of such problems can be avoided. The final chapters of the book suggests different methods of arranging your own finances so that your family will not be left with more problems than happy memories of you.

Although this book is based solidly on Kansas law, it is an easy read. Legal concepts are explained in simple, everyday language. There is glossary in the book in the event you come across an unfamiliar term.

A Will Is Not Enough

Many people who have a Will think that they have their affairs in order. They believe that their Will can take care of any problem that may arise. But the primary function of a Will is to distribute property to people named in a Will. A Will cannot:
a Protect your assets and limit your debt
a Provide care for a minor or disabled child
a Appoint someone to make your health care decisions should you be unable to do so
a Appoint someone to handle your finances should you be unable to do so
a Arrange to pay for your health care should you need long term nursing care, including qualifying for MEDICAID.
a Avoid Guardianship.
 

AMELIA E. POHL, Esq. has written a book that explains all of these things. It is a continuation of the Guiding Those Left Behind book. For example, this Guide book explains why it is important to avoid guardianship. The Will book explains how to avoid guardianship.

 

The Will book builds on basic Estate Planning concepts introduced in Chapter 7 of this book and then goes on to introduce other, more sophisticated, Estate Planning methods. Although the topics are sophisticated, the writing style is the same as in this book. It is written in plain English. It is intended for use by the average person.
