You're right - every jurisdiction is different, which is why I said to check your state laws. What I'm citing there is a Kentucky statute, not Kansas, and the deeds are dated, but obviously you could have two deeds done in the same day and run that risk, but that would be hard to do if you have actual possession of the property.

I'm putting this information out there so people are aware that there are alternatives. I agree you could use a trust, but the way specifically that I'm mentioning here also prevents property taxes being applied (although it's possible with a trust too). There are numerous ways to avoid those and people don't realize that they are really meant for government-created entities.

Thankfully people are fighting those in court now too, especially after learning of a case in Florida that was sealed.
