FAQs

Real property — or real estate — includes land, buildings, and anything permanently affixed to the earth, such as fixtures and appurtenances. Personal property, by contrast, is movable: furniture, vehicles, and similar items. The distinction matters because real property transfers follow specific conveyancing rules, including deed recording requirements.

Both documents serve different purposes. A purchase agreement (or contract of sale) sets the negotiated terms before closing — price, contingencies, and timelines. A deed is the instrument that actually transfers legal title from the seller to the buyer at closing. A complete home sale typically requires both.

A life estate deed grants one person — the life tenant — the right to occupy and use real property for the duration of their life, after which full ownership passes to a named beneficiary called the remainderman. It is commonly used in estate planning to transfer a home while allowing the current owner to remain in residence.

A solid lease identifies the landlord and tenant, describes the premises, states the monthly rent and due date, sets the lease term, and outlines each party's responsibilities for maintenance and utilities. It should also cover the security deposit amount, late-fee policy, and the process for ending the tenancy.

Generally, landlords are expected to provide reasonable advance notice before entering a rental unit except in genuine emergencies. The specific notice expectations are typically spelled out in the lease agreement and reflect widely accepted landlord-tenant principles applicable across Kansas.
