What is an ‘intervention’?

An ‘intervention’ is a legal process that occurs in the state of Kansas when non-consenting parties dispute the ownership of an artwork. One party, known as the ‘intervenor,’ essentially interrupts the normal process of sale by filing a claim that the artwork actually belongs to them. The intervenor must have evidence that the artwork in question is owned through a legal right such as inheritance, purchase, or other lawful means. In order to begin an intervention in Kansas, the intervenor must make a formal written request that includes their legal claim and supporting documents with the court. The court may then decide to initiate an intervention case and require that the parties involved come to a meeting in court. After the intervenor presents their case, including any documents or witnesses, the court will make a ruling on the ownership of the artwork. Interventions are commonly used in Kansas when artwork is being sold and the rightful owner of the artwork is not clear. They are also used to recover artwork that has been lost or stolen. By filing an intervention, the intervenor is asserting their legal rights to the artwork and is attempting to gain possession of it.
