We turn to the record on appeal for the parties' motions, statements of uncontroverted facts, and briefs which were before the district court. We need not repeat them here, other than to note that our review of the parties' summary judgment motions is de novo. The parties are well acquainted with the standards for granting summary judgment and our standard for reviewing the ruling on appeal, all of which can be found in K.S.A. The issue before us is whether the district court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants because the children's claims were barred by the applicable statutes of limitations or statutes of repose. This suit is against the insurance company and others who, according to the children, were complicit in the loss. The stepchildren (referred to as the children) obtained what may be a worthless judgment against their stepmother. The suit that resulted in this appeal was prompted by a stepmother who her stepchildren claim cheated them out of their inheritance.
