(A) Another person, without collusion with the party, has a claim or has made a claim to money or property in the party's possession; and

(B) the party is ready to pay or dispose of the money or property as the court orders.

(2) The court may issue an order for the safekeeping, including the payment or deposit in court or the delivery to a custodian, of the money or property. The court may issue an order requiring the person to appear at a specific time and assert or relinquish a claim against the money or property. A copy of the order must be served on the person in the manner provided for service of summons in article 3 of chapter 60 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated.

(3) If the person fails to appear at the specified time, the court may bar any claim by the person to the money or property. If the person appears and asserts a claim against the money or property, the court must discharge the party from all liability with respect to the money or property upon the party's deposit or delivery of the money or property as ordered by the court. The court must realign the remaining parties as their interests appear.

(c) Application. The provisions of this section supplement and do not in any way limit the joinder of parties permitted in K.S.A. 60-220, and amendments thereto.

(2) is in a form capable of being processed by that system; and

(3) enters an information processing system outside the control of the sender or of a person that sent the electronic record on behalf of the sender or enters a region of the information processing system designated or used by the recipient which is under the control of the recipient.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed between a sender and the recipient, an electronic record is received when:

(1) It enters an information processing system that the recipient has designated or uses for the purpose of receiving electronic records or information of the type sent and from which the recipient is able to retrieve the electronic record; and

(d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the electronic record or agreed between the sender and the recipient, an electronic record is deemed to be sent from the sender's place of business and to be received at the recipient's place of business. For purposes of this subsection, the following rules apply:

(1) If the sender or recipient has more than one place of business, the place of business of that person is the place having the closest relationship to the underlying transaction.

(2) If the sender or the recipient does not have a place of business, the place of business is the sender's or recipient's residence, as the case may be.

(e) An electronic record is received under subsection (b) even if no individual is aware of its receipt.

(f) Receipt of an electronic acknowledgment from an information processing system described in subsection (b) establishes that a record was received but, by itself, does not establish that the content sent corresponds to the content received.

(g) If a person is aware that an electronic record purportedly sent under subsection (a), or purportedly received under subsection (b), was not actually sent or received, the legal effect of the sending or receipt is determined by other applicable law. Except to the extent permitted by the other law, the requirements of this subsection may not be varied by agreement.
