Kan. Stat. § 61-3611
Any person who claims to have succeeded to the interest of the holder of a judgment by appointment as personal representative for a judgment holder, by assignment, by operation of law, or otherwise, shall file a notice setting forth the basis for their claim, and thereafter such successor in interest shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies available to such successor's predecessor and may proceed to enforce the same in such successor's own name as such successor. It shall not be necessary to file with the clerk the documents which form the basis for the claim. If the validity of any such transfer is disputed by any party affected thereby, the court shall on reasonable notice to all interested parties whose whereabouts are known, determine the respective rights and liabilities of all the parties.
