Kansas Statutes Chapter 59. Probate Code § 59-2235. Selection of homestead and allowances

After the inventory and valuation have been filed, the surviving spouse, or in case there is none, the children, may petition the court to set apart the homestead, and the personal property allowed in K.S.A. 59-403. Such petition shall show the names, ages, and relationship of the parties, a description of the homestead claimed and of the personal property selected, and the valuation of the personal property selected under subsection (2) of K.S.A. 59-403. The petition may be heard with or without notice. Upon proof of the petition, the court shall set apart such homestead and personal property. The property so set apart shall be delivered by the executor or administrator to the persons entitled thereto, and shall not be treated as assets in his or her custody, but the title of the homestead shall be included in the final decree of distribution.
