(a) At any time while the papers in any case in which a judgment has been rendered by a circuit court are retained by the court, the judge shall certify and deliver an abstract of the judgment to any person on the payment of a five dollar ($5.00) fee.
(b) The judgment creditor in any judgment rendered in circuit court may file with the clerk of the district court and record with the county clerk of the county in which the judgment was rendered a transcript thereof, certifying therein the amount paid thereon, if any. The clerk of the district court shall enter the case on the execution docket, together with the amount of the judgment. If within ten (10) days after the judgment was rendered, the judgment debtor pays the same or gives bond for stay of execution, the circuit judge shall immediately certify that fact to the clerk of the district court and the county clerk. The clerk of the district court shall enter a memorandum thereof upon the execution docket. The cost of the transcript, the filing, recording and the entry on the docket shall be paid by the party who files and records the transcript and may be taxed to the other party. The judgment shall be a lien on the real estate of the judgment debtor within the county from the day and time the transcript is recorded with the county clerk. Execution may be issued on the judgment at any time after filing the transcript with the clerk of the district court as if the judgment had been rendered in the district court.
(c) The judgment creditor in any judgment rendered by any circuit court in this state and filed in the judgment record of the district court, may file a transcript of the judgment record of the district court with the clerk of the district court and record a transcript of the judgment with the county clerk in any other county within this state where the judgment debtor owns real estate. The judgment is a lien upon all real estate of the judgment debtor in any county in which the transcript is recorded with the county clerk from the date of recording with the county clerk. The clerk of the district court of any county in which the transcript is filed shall enter the judgment upon the judgment records of the court in the same manner as judgments are rendered in that court.
