Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by George M. Hoffman was a patron of the city of Little River, Kansas. He died in 1931. One of his benefactions was a testamentary trust for the benefit and maintenance of the George M. Hoffman Memorial Hospital in Little River. The hospital building had been constructed by Hoffman in 1916 before his death. By 1972 the building could no longer be licensed as a hospital and the Hoffman Memorial Hospital ceased to operate. In 1975 the trustees of the Hoffman trust filed this action for construction of the will and to determine ownership of the assets held in the testamentary trust. The competing claimants consist of the heirs of George Green who was named as a residuary legatee in the Hoffman will and Hospital District No. 2, Rice County, Kansas, a municipal corporation which operates a nursing home in Little River, known as Sandstone Heights. From allegations in the pleadings it appears that Hospital District No. 2 was established under the provisions of K.S.A. 80-2113 when it was apparent the Hoffman Memorial Hospital could no longer be licensed and operated. The building in which the hospital had been operated had been conveyed to the city of Little River prior to Hoffman's death. When Hospital District No. 2 was established the city transferred title to the Hoffman building and grounds to the district. By reason thereof Hospital District No. 2 is the successor to the assets of the Hoffman Memorial Hospital Association.
