(735 ILCS 5/12-152) (from Ch. 110, par. 12-152)
Sec. 12-152.
Certificate of levy.
When a certified copy of a judgment
is issued from a circuit court of any
county in this State, and levied upon any real estate, the officer making such
levy shall execute a certificate thereof and file the same in the office of
the recorder of the county in which such real estate is located or in
the office of the registrar of titles of such county if the real estate
levied upon is registered under "An Act concerning land titles",
approved May 1, 1897, as amended. Unless a transcript, certified copy or
memorandum has been filed in the office of the recorder or in
the office of the registrar of titles of such county, as the case may
be, as provided by Section 12-101 of this Act, no judgment
or order shall become a lien upon either nonregistered or registered
real property until such certificate of levy has been filed as provided
in this Section and, if the real property levied upon is registered, a
memorial thereof is entered upon the register of the last certificate of
title to be affected.
