When a judgment or decree is made, setting apart and defining the homestead, confirming a sale, making distribution of real property, or determining any other matter affecting the title to real property, a certified copy of the same must be recorded in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the real property is situated. A certified copy of any such judgment or decree may be made by the court clerk as to real property in any one county without including therein the description of lands located in any other county, such certificate reciting that the same is a true copy of such instrument insofar as the same relates to real property in such county. Instead of filing the judgment or decree in the office of the county clerk where the real property described in the judgment or decree is located, a notice of the judgment or decree may be filed in the office of the county clerk of any county where the real property described in the judgment or decree is located. The notice shall provide the name of the decedent in the probate proceeding, the court, case number, the date that the judgment or decree was entered, a legal description of the real property located in the county where the notice is to be filed without including the description of real property located in any other county, and the name and address of the party or parties holding title to such real property as set forth in the judgment or decree.
