Recent Changes to the Law on Contract for Deeds
Presenter: Pat Riordan
The CLE will review the established law for contracts for deeds before 2024. The CLE will then cover the Kansas Contract for Deed Act enacted in 2024 and the Herrera v. Koehn case decided in November of 2025. After that, the CLE will address the effect of the act and the case, especially the potentially significant detrimental effects of both the act and the case on the rights of buyers under contracts for deed.

We’re thrilled to bring the Turkey Shoot back to Cedar Lawn Farm for the second year in a row! This scenic venue has quickly become a member favorite, and we can’t wait to celebrate another year of good food, great company, and gratitude. Located at 12741 SW K4 Hwy.
