Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 59-2321

  • Conservator: means an individual or corporation appointed by the court to act on behalf of a conservatee and possessed of some or all of the powers and duties set out in Kan. See Kansas Statutes 77-201
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Lease: A contract transferring the use of property or occupancy of land, space, structures, or equipment in consideration of a payment (e.g., rent). Source: OCC
  • Property: includes personal and real property. See Kansas Statutes 77-201

The district court authorizing any such lease by order shall direct the division of the net proceeds of such lease between the competent spouse and the conservator in such proportions as may be proper, equitable and just, having due regard for the time and manner of acquiring the homestead. Any unpaid or undistributed proceeds at the death of either spouse shall be considered as property of the owner of the homestead and payable to such owner. Within the limits above prescribed such order for payment or distribution may for good cause shown, upon due notice and hearing, be revoked or modified from time to time as justice and interest of the parties may require.
