Government forms are not typically updated often, though when they are, it often happens rather quietly. While Atticus works hard to keep this information about Kansas’s Form 2624 - Order Giving Full Faith And Credit To Prior Adjudication Of Impairment From Another State And Appointing Guardian And Conservator In Kansas up to date, certain details can change from time-to-time with little or no communication.

Step 1 - Download the correct Kansas form based on the name and ID if applicable

Double check that you have both the correct form name and the correct form ID. Some Kansas probate forms can look remarkably similar, so it’s best to double, even triple-check that you’re using the right one! Keep in mind that not all States have a standardized Form ID system for their probate forms.

Step 2 - Complete the Document

Fill out all relevant fields in Form 2624, take a break, and then review. Probate and estate settlement processes in KS are long enough to begin with, and making a silly error can push your timeline even farther back. No thank you!

Note: If you don’t currently know all of the answers and are accessing Form 2624 online, be sure to avoid closing the browser tab and potentially losing all your progress (or use a platform like Atticus to help avoid making mistakes).

Step 3 - Have Form 2624 witnessed or notarized (if required)

Some States and situations require particular forms to be notarized. If you have been instructed to get the document notarized or see it in writing on the document, then make sure to hire a local notary. There are max notary fees in the United States that are defined and set by local law. Take a look at our full guide to notary fees to make sure you aren’t overpaying or getting ripped off.

Step 4 - Submit Order Giving Full Faith And Credit To Prior Adjudication Of Impairment From Another State And Appointing Guardian And Conservator In Kansas to the relevant office

This is most often the local probate court where the decedent (person who passed away) is domiciled (permanently resides) or the institution involved with this particular form (e.g. a bank). Some offices allow you to submit forms online, other’s don’t, and we while we generally recommend going in-person to expedite the process, sometimes that simply isn’t an option.

It’s also a generally good idea to establish a positive working relationship with any probate clerk (unfortunately there’s enough people & process out there making things more difficult and unnecessarily confusing for them), so a best practice is to simply ask the probate clerk proactively exactly how and where they’d prefer you to submit all forms.

Different probate forms or processes can require different deadlines or response times for completing the appropriate form.

While some steps in the process are bound to specific deadlines (like petitioning for probate, having to submit an inventory of assets, or filing applicable notices to creditors and beneficiaries), many probate forms or processes are not tied to a specific deadline since the scope of work can vary based on situational factors or requirements involved.

Either way, there are a bunch of practical reasons why personal representatives should work to complete each step as thoroughly and quickly as possible when completing probate in Kansas.

5 reasons you should submit 2624 as quickly as possible:

1. The sooner you begin, the faster Kansas can allow heirs and beneficiaries to get their share of assets subject to probate. Acting promptly can also decrease the costs & overall mental fatigue through an otherwise burdensome process.

2. In general, creditors of an estate usually have around 3-6 months from the time you file notice to creditors to file any claims for debt against the deceased’s assets. If they don’t, then that debt is forfeited (and more importantly, the executor won’t be held personally responsible). So doing this sooner means you have a better idea of who is owed what and ensures you won’t get a surprise collector months later.

3. Not filing a will within 30 days (on average) could mean that the probate process proceeds according to intestate laws (laws that govern what happens to someone's stuff without a will) or is subject to unnecessary supervision by the probate court. And if you aren't directly related to the deceased (a.k.a. next of kin), this could also mean you lose your inheritance.

4. It’s important to file any necessary state tax returns on behalf of the deceased or estate by the following tax season in Kansas. If you don’t, you could owe penalties and interest. This also includes any necessary federal tax returns such as Forms 1040, 1041, or even a Form 706 estate tax return.

5. If a house in the State of Kansas is left empty (or abandoned) for a while, insurance can get dicey. For example, if the house burns down and no one has been there for a year, an insurance company may get out of paying your claim.

If you’re not using Atticus to get specific forms, deadlines, and timelines for Kansas probate, then try and stay as organized as possible, pay close attention to the dates mentioned in any correspondence you have with the State’s government officials, call the local Kansas probate clerk or court for exact answers regarding Form 2624, and when in doubt— consult a qualified trust & estates lawyer for that area.

By clear and convincing evidence, Mary Roe, is a person who has been previously adjudged as impaired in another state. 4. Because Bob Roe is Mary Roe's son, has demonstrated that he is aware of issues relating to conflict of interest, and has filed evidence of completion of the instructional program required by K.S.A. 59-3069(j), Bob Roe is not disqualified from serving as guardian and conservator pursuant to K.S.A. 59-3068(b)(2) even 2021 2600-66 Kansas Probate Forms 3d though he has a potential conflict of interest in that he is Administrator of the Nursing Center of Apache County where Mary Roe will be living. 5. Bob Roe is a fit and proper person to be appointed guardian and conservator for Mary Roe in the State of Kansas. Due to the condition of Mary Roe, the Court will not require the guardian and conservator to file with the Court a guardianship plan or conservatorship plan and the guardian and conservator shall be given full power and authority to act on behalf of Mary Roe, as set forth by law. 6. Mary Roe’s estate is of the following character and value: Probable Type Location Estimated Value Annual Income Social Security (Bob Roe payee) $900.00/month $\\u00180,800.00 IRA Cambridge Natl. $90,000.00 $\\u00188,000.00 Bank, Cambridge Ohio 40\\u0018 K Guernsey Coop. $\\u001820,000.00 $24,000.00 Cambridge, OH Reasonably Expected Monthly Expenses $3,500.00 7.

THE COURT ORDERS that: 1. The above findings be made a part of the order and decree of the court. 2. Bob Roe is appointed guardian for Mary Roe and upon the filing of an oath as guardian, Letters of Guardianship shall issue to him. Bob Roe is appointed Conservator for Mary Roe and upon the termination of the conservatorship in the state of Ohio, the filing of an oath as conservator and the filing of a surety bond approved by this Court in the amount of $276,000.00, Letters of Conservatorship shall issue to him. 3. The annual accounting period of the conservator and the annual reporting period of the guardian shall be the \\u00182-month period ending June 30 of each year. 4. Bob Roe shall take immediate action to terminate the guardianship and conservatorship proceedings in the State of Ohio. If for any reason those proceedings are not terminated within 60 days from the date this order is filed 2021 2600-67 Kansas Probate Forms 3d with this Court or by the expiration of any extension of that time later issued by this Court, then this action shall terminate and the Letters of Guardianship issued by this Court to Bob Roe shall be canceled, withdrawn and void and Letters of Conservatorship shall not be issued. THIS ORDER IS EFFECTIVE as of the date and time shown on the electronic file stamp. Reference K.S.A. 59-3067; 59-3068; 59-3069; 59-3075; 59-3076; 59-3078; 59-3083; 59-3084; and Supreme Court Rule No. \\u001809. Comment If entries of appearance and waivers of notice cannot be obtained then alternate paragraph \\u0018 should be used. It is important to remember that the intent of this new section is to be sure that only one state has jurisdiction over the proposed ward or conservatee or both and any appointed fiduciary. A reasonable deadline should be established by the Kansas court to require the fiduciary to terminate the proceedings in the previous state. As long as the proceeding to terminate in the other state has been filed and is progressing and proof of such can be shown, the Kansas court could extend the deadline if the termination cannot be accomplished within the original time frame set out by the court. We have split the appointment of the guardian and the conservator in this situation. It is important that before a guardian and a conservator is fully qualified to be issued letters in Kansas, the proceedings in the other state must first be terminated. That being said, we felt that it might be a necessity for a guardian in Kansas to have Letters of Guardianship granted during the time termination proceedings are undertaken in the other state. Some health care providers, nursing and rehab facilities in Kansas have not accepted Letters of Guardianship from other states. That does not appear to be the case with Letters of Conservatorship. Upon the Court granting an order appointing a guardian, Letters of Guardianship may issue upon the appointed guardian filing the oath. It is felt that it is a better practice not to issue Letters of Conservatorship until the proceedings in the other state are terminated. If after a reasonable time, the other state’s proceedings are not terminated, then the Kansas court should terminate these proceedings and cancel any Letters issued. K.S.A. 59-3068(b)(2) prohibits the court from appointing as guardian or conservator any person who provides care of other services or is an employee of an agency, partnership or corporation, which provides care of other services to persons with a disability similar in nature to the condition or conditions which contribute to the impairment of the ward or conservatee except in certain circumstances. In this example, although the proposed guardian and conservator is the Administrator of the nursing home where the ward will be living, this conflict of interest does not disqualify him from serving because he is related to the ward, is aware of conflict of interest issues, and has completed the instructional program required by K.S.A. 59-3069(j). See K.S.A. 59-3068(b)(2)(A). For a more detailed explanation of the instructional program, see the comment to Form 2620.
