No. TOD deeds work by being recorded against a specific parcel of real estate, so the deed must be a Kansas TOD deed recorded with the Kansas county where the property sits.

If you own real estate in more than one state, each parcel needs its own state-appropriate TOD deed. See the document portability tool for the full breakdown.
