Book excerpt: Because of the specific methods prescribed by the Kansas probate code for dealing with unsecured claims, and the assurances given for their payment if properly exhibited, it is our opinion that the more general provisions of K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 8-135 do not authorize a different method for assuring payment of specific debts. Therefore, unless a mortuary, physician or hospital has a lien or encumbrance upon the vehicle of a decedent prior to his death, K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 8-135 does not, in our judgment, allow for the creation of such a lien subsequent to the date of the decedent's death except as provided in the probate code.
