     estate then owned by him or on real estate which he had conveyed
     by deed not recorded during his life shall continue to bind the
     real estate for five years from the inception or last revival of
     the lien or for one year from the decedent's death, whichever
     shall be longer, although the judgment be not revived after his
     death. During this period, the judgment shall rank according to
     its priority at the time of death, and after this period, it
     shall not continue to be a lien on the real estate, unless
     revived. Any judgment against the decedent which is a lien on
     real estate aliened by him may be revived by an action of scire
     facias brought against the decedent, but before any judgment
     shall be entered thereon, the personal representative shall be
     made a party defendant and served with process in the action.
