Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawyers representing buyers of water rights in Kansas must be concerned with two things: the quality of the water right and the quality of the title of the water right. The former subject is treated in an article “Assessing the Quality of a Water Right,” 70 J. Kan. Bar Assoc. 26 (May 2001). This article discusses the latter topic. A water right may be perfectly fine regarding annual use reports, legal and proper use of the water, and filing of appropriate documents in the public records, but the title might have defects. Contrariwise, the title may be clean, but the right itself may quality problems. Typically, title insurance companies do not insure title to water rights, so the lawyer must rely on either abstracts of title or original searches in the public records, which can lead to high legal costs in such transactions. This article provides guidance to lawyers who must examine title to water rights. The article begins with a summary of Kansas water rights law, focusing on the fact that water rights in Kansas are real property interests. It discusses abstracts of title versus title insurance and the necessary contents and descriptions to be contained in the deed . Next covered are matters of title to the water right - general issues, Division of Water Resources change orders acting as deeds, and title to the land to which the water right is appurtenant. It provides details on several matters that can affect title: divorce, mortgages, judgment and mechanics' liens, foreclosures, utility easements, tenants, bankruptcy, Uniform Commercial Code documents, restrictive covenants, special water districts, and property taxes. Other subjects covered are the Kansas Water Transfer Act and interstate water diversions.

Book excerpt: This article deals with Kansas water rights - specifically how one assesses the quality of a water right, whether done for the purpose of conducting an inventory or preparing for a transaction. The topic is important because lawyers must aid clients in transactions involving water rights, which in Kansas are real property interests and thus treated as land: deeds are used for conveyancing; the Statute of Frauds requires the contracts of sale to be in writing; and mortgages are the security devices for financing the deal. In a water rights purchase, the buyer's lawyer must assess both the quality of the title of the water right, including the real estate to which the right is appurtenance, and the quality of the water right itself. The former topic was covered by the author in an article, “Title and Related Considerations in Conveying Kansas Water Rights,” 66 J. Kan. Bar. Assoc., 38 (1997). These two articles go together, because a water right may have good title, but have problems un-associated with title such as mistakes in the documents or termination for non-use issues. Alternatively, the water right itself may be perfect in all regards, but the title may have issues. This article on the quality of the water right distinguishes between water (personal property) and water rights (real property). It discusses issues such as when water rights become real property interests, how water rights information is found, and what attributes water rights have. It discusses conditions in permits and certificates, abandonment, change orders, correctional orders, and water rights status reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have prepared this outline of Kansas water law for the benefit of the Interim Committee on Natural Resources. By the standard of legislative testimony, it is painfully long; by the standards of a legal treatise, it is painfully short and incomplete. Nonetheless, it is intended as a basic guide to the structure and operation of Kansas water law, as that law has established property rights in the use of water, and how owners of Kansas water rights have (and have not) protected those rights. I will limit my oral testimony to the basic elements of this written testimony, so that I can answer the questions of the committee..
