No judgment requiring the payment of money shall be a lien upon land registered under sections 508A.01 to 508A.85, except as herein provided. Any person claiming a lien shall file with the registrar a certified copy of the judgment, together with a written statement containing a description of each parcel of land in which the judgment debtor has a registered interest and upon which the lien is claimed, and a proper reference to the CPT or CPTs to the land. Upon filing the copy and statement, the registrar shall enter a memorial of the judgment upon each CPT designated in the statement, and the judgment shall then be and become a lien upon the judgment debtor's interest in the land described in CPT or CPTs. At any time after filing the certified copy of the judgment, any person claiming the lien may, by filing a written statement, as herein provided, cause a memorial of the judgment to be entered upon any CPT to land in which the judgment debtor has a registered interest and not described in any previous statement and the judgment shall then be and become a lien upon the judgment debtor's interest in the land. The public authority for child support enforcement may present for filing a notice of judgment lien under section 548.091 with identifying information for a parcel of real property. Upon receipt of the notice of judgment lien, the registrar shall enter a memorial of it upon each certificate of possessory title which reasonably can be identified as owned by the judgment debtor on the basis of the information provided. The judgment shall survive and the lien thereof shall continue for a period of ten years from the date of the judgment and no longer; and the registrar shall not carry forward to a new certificate of title the memorial of the judgment after that period. In every case where an instrument of any description, or a copy of any writ, order, or decree, is required by law to be filed or recorded in order to create or preserve any lien, writ, or attachment upon unregistered land, the instrument or copy, if intended to affect registered land, shall, in lieu of recording, be filed and registered with the registrar. In addition to any facts required by law to be stated in the instruments to entitle them to be filed or recorded, they shall also contain a reference to the number of the CPT of the land to be affected. If the attachment, charge, or lien is not claimed on all the land described in any CPT, the instrument shall contain a description sufficient to identify the land.

If the land of a registered owner, or any right, title, interest, or estate in it is taken by eminent domain, the state or body politic, or other authority which exercises the right, shall file for registration a certified copy of a final certificate or a certified copy of a court order transferring title pursuant to section 117.042 together with an instrument containing a description of the land taken, together with the name of each owner of it, and referring to each CPT by its number and place of registration in the register of titles, and stating what estate or interest in the land is taken, and for what purpose. A memorial of the right, title, interest, or estate thus taken shall be made upon each CPT by the registrar. If the fee is taken, a new CPT shall be entered in the name of the owner for the land remaining to the owner after the taking. A new CPT may not be entered except by order of the district court or upon the written certification of the examiner of titles as to the legal sufficiency of the final certificate or court order pursuant to section 117.042 and other instruments presented for filing for the purpose of issuance of a new CPT. If the owner has a lien for damages upon the land thus taken, this fact shall be stated in the memorial of registration. All fees on account of any memorial of registration or entry of new CPTs for land thus taken shall be paid by the state or body politic or other authority which takes the land. If land which was taken for public use reverts, by operation of law, to the owner or to heirs or assigns, the district court, upon the application of the person entitled to the benefit of the reversion, and after due notice and hearing, may order the entry of a new CPT to the person entitled to it.

Upon the filing of a certified copy of a resolution or ordinance by a city vacating an adjoining street or alley that was dedicated to the public in a plat, a registered owner is entitled to have added to the legal description on the CPT that part of the vacated street or alley that accrues to it, provided the vacation occurred after the land was originally registered. The vacated street or alley may be added to the CPT by order of the district court or by a written directive from the examiner of titles.

If an action is brought to recover any loss or damage occasioned solely by the registration of the land, or solely by the registration of any other person as the owner thereof, or if the action be brought for the recovery of any loss or damage occasioned solely by the omission, mistake or misfeasance of the registrar or the registrar's deputy, or of any examiner or of any court administrator, or of a deputy of the court administrator or examiner, in the performance of their respective duties, the commissioner of management and budget, in the commissioner's official capacity, shall be the sole defendant. If the action is brought to recover for any loss or damage occasioned either wholly, or in part, by the fraud or wrongful act of some person other than the officers herein named, or to recover for any loss or damage caused jointly by the fraud or wrongful act, and by the omission, mistake or misfeasance of the officers above named, or any of them, and of some other person, the commissioner of management and budget, in the commissioner's official capacity, and the other person shall be joined as defendants in it.

An officer returning the execution shall certify on it that the amount still due upon the execution cannot be collected from them. The court, being satisfied as to the truth of the return, shall then order the commissioner of management and budget to pay the amount due upon the execution out of the general fund. The attorney general or, at the request of either the attorney general or the board of county commissioners of the county in which the land or a major part of it lies, the county attorney of that county shall defend the commissioner of management and budget in all these actions.
