1516 - Lien of judgment.

     § 1516.  Lien of judgment.
        A judgment of a magisterial district judge shall not operate
     as a lien on real property until a transcript of the record
     showing a final judgment of a magisterial district judge has
     been filed in the manner prescribed by general rules in the
     office of the clerk of the court of common pleas of the county
     where the property is situated, or in the office of the clerk of
     the branch of the court of common pleas embracing such county.
     After such entry the judgment shall, from the date of such
     entry, be a lien upon real property to the same extent that
     judgment recovered in the court of common pleas is a lien. No
     such transcript shall be filed until after 30 days after the
     entry of final judgment by the magisterial district judge. No
     execution against real estate shall be issued by a magisterial
     district judge.
