17-1755. Same; procedure for transfer of property.
An application for such an order and disposition of property
may be made by any member or officer of the Great Plains Annual Conference
of the Free Methodist Church of North America, a corporation, or by proper
officials of the church upon a verified petition setting forth the facts
authorizing such order and disposition of property.
Upon the presentation of such petition to the district court the court
may proceed in a summary manner, after such notice as the court may prescribe,
to inquire into the merits of such application; and if upon examination by
the court it shall satisfactorily appear that the making of the order and
disposition of the property applied for is necessary or proper, for any
of the causes mentioned in K.S.A. 17-1754, such court shall make a final order,
declaring such church or society extinct and dissolving the same, and
transferring
any property and the title and possession thereof which may belong to such
church or society, or held in trust for such church or society, and vesting
the same in the Great Plains Annual Conference of the Free Methodist Church
of North America, a corporation, it being the intent and purpose of this
act to preserve all property owned by or held in trust for any such extinct
church or society for religious uses.
