Sec. 8. (a) All judgments, decrees, orders, and proceedings of city and town courts have the same force as those of the circuit court. A judgment becomes a lien on real estate when a transcript of the judgment is filed with the clerk of the circuit court.
(b) All orders of sale and executions affecting real estate from the city court of the three (3) cities having the largest populations in a county having a population of more than four hundred thousand (400,000) but less than seven hundred thousand (700,000) shall be issued by the clerk of the circuit court to the sheriff upon the filing of a certified copy of the judgment. When the copy is filed, the court rendering the judgment has no further jurisdiction of the case except to furnish a transcript for appeal. The life of a lien may be continued in force when the action is started in the city court, as though the action were filed in the circuit court, by filing with the clerk of the circuit court a certificate, certified to by the judge of the city court and containing:
(1) the names of the parties to the suit;
(2) the nature of the action;
(3) the description of the property affected; and
(4) the amount in controversy.
The judge shall enter minutes on the docket showing the issuing of the certificates.
