Judgments Affecting Land

Judgments Affecting Land. A judgment adjudicating an interest in land shall, after the time for appeal therefrom has expired without notice of appeal being filed or after any appeal duly taken has been finally determined or after an order has been entered that an appeal shall not stay the judgment, operate as the release or transfer of any interest in land in accordance with the terms of the judgment, when a copy thereof, certified by the clerk of courts, or any judge of the court, is recorded in the Commonwealth Recorder’s office, within the Commonwealth Trial Court.
