Article 52 - Enforcement of Money Judgments
5203 - Priorities and Liens Upon Real Property.

(b) Extension of lien. Upon motion of the judgment creditor, upon
notice to the judgment debtor, served personally or by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of
the judgment debtor, the court may order that the lien of a money
judgment upon real property be effective after the expiration of ten
years from the filing of the judgment-roll, for a period no longer than
the time during which the judgment creditor was stayed from enforcing
the judgment, or the time necessary to complete advertisement and sale
of real property in accordance with section 5236, pursuant to an
execution delivered to a sheriff prior to the expiration of ten years
from the filing of the judgment-roll. The order shall be effective from
the time it is filed with the clerk of the county in which the property
is located and an appropriate entry is made upon the docket of the
judgment.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, where a court makes an
oral or written determination on the record awarding ownership of an
interest in real property, and a judgment effectuating such
determination is docketed with the clerk of the county in which such
property is located not later than thirty days thereafter, such
judgement shall be deemed entered and docketed on the day immediately
preceding the date of such determination solely for purposes of
establishing the priority thereof against a judicial lien on such
property created upon the simultaneous or later filing of a petition in
bankruptcy pursuant to the United States bankruptcy code, as amended.
