(C) A judgment by the Circuit Court, to the extent that it is not satisfied under I.C. 27-2-15-1 et seq., is a debt and a lien on all the real and personal property of the person named, or a joint and several debt and lien on real and personal property of the persons named. The lien on real property is perfected against all creditors and purchasers when the judgment is entered on the judgment docket of the court. The lien on personal property is perfected by filing a lis pendens notice in the appropriate filing office, as prescribed by the state rules of trial procedure.
