Our reputation as a leader in representing clients in real estate matters enables us to recruit the most talented real estate attorneys in the industry. Our real estate attorneys are dedicated to educating and representing our real estate clients. This commitment shows through our involvement in publishing as well as our association with local and national organizations. We have revised and updated the "Title Insurance" chapter originally authored by Partner Ron Bodinson in the newly released Kansas Real Estate Practice & Procedure Handbook. First published in 1975, this book compiles the research, advice and reflections of seasoned practitioners to provide a useful resource for all readers, ranging from students to field experts. The 2009 edition updates all 16 previous chapters and adds three new chapters on like-kind exchanges, public incentives and electronic recording. Partner Dave Erickson also contributed to a chapter in this newly released edition.

Closely related to the physical property our real estate attorneys work with on a daily basis is estate planning. Developing an estate plan—and updating it--is critical because it is key to ensuring your assets and wishes are carried out after your death. Our estate planning attorneys can provide a plan to coordinate wills, trusts, jointly owned property interests, life insurance policies, pension plans, and retirement accounts. A well-crafted estate plan can also help minimize the risk of taxing authorities becoming the unnamed beneficiaries of an estate.
