Upon the expiration of the period for redemption, the court shall make a final judgment of the foreclosure of the tax lien or liens upon any such properties not withdrawn or redeemed and direct that possession of such property be given to the municipality or municipalities having the lien or liens thereon. Upon the rendition of such judgment, all persons having any right, title or interest in or to such properties shall be forever barred and foreclosed of their rights therein.

Such certificate shall be substantially as follows:
