To preserve the lien of the original judgment upon lands and subject them to sale on execution under s. 815.61, the person aggrieved shall, within 20 days after the payment for which he or she claims a contribution, file an affidavit with the clerk of circuit court in which the original judgment was rendered, stating the sum paid and his or her claim to use the judgment for the reimbursement of the payment. The clerk of circuit court shall enter in the judgment and lien docket the sum paid and that the judgment is claimed to be a lien in that amount. To preserve the lien upon property situated in a county other than the county where the circuit court that rendered the judgment is located, a similar affidavit and notice shall be filed with the clerk of circuit court for that county and a like entry made upon the judgment and lien docket in that county. The fee of the clerk of circuit court for making the entry is prescribed in s. 814.61 (5).
