There shall be an attachment of lien to proceeds of any sale of real property that is subject to a municipal lien. In case any real property upon which a municipal lien exists is sold by any means, including by an order of the court of competent jurisdiction directing an executor or administrator to sell the real estate to pay the debts of a deceased person, or is sold by virtue of an execution process, or is sold in any fashion, such tax and/or service lien shall be transferred to the funds arising from such sale in the hands of any officer, agent, person, seller, or entity making the sale, and after remittance to the municipality of the full amount owed, the real estate so sold shall be discharged from the lien. If the sale funds are not sufficient to pay and discharge the tax and/or service lien, the unpaid balance of the tax and/or service lien shall remain a lien upon the real property so sold.
