§ 417. Judgments, decrees, attachments and other liens to be noted on certificate. No judgment, decree, attachment, execution, mechanic's lien, or other lien or charge, which may affect or be a lien or charge upon real property in this state, shall be or become a lien or charge on real property, or any right or interest therein, the title to which has been registered, unless a transcript, or certified copy, or other duly made or certified document, which is by law proper evidence in a court of record, of such judgment, decree, attachment, mechanic's lien, or other lien or charge, shall be duly filed with the registrar, and a proper memorial thereof made by him upon the certificate of title in the title book. Such transcript, or certified copy, or other duly made or certified document so filed shall have plainly written or stamped thereon the number of the certificate of registration of the title to the property to be affected and bound thereby by virtue of such memorial on such certificate, and it shall be the duty of the registrar to make such memorial immediately on receipt of the same. A discharge, cancellation, or modification of any judgment, decree, attachment, mechanic's lien, or other lien or charge, so noted on the certificate, shall not affect or be binding upon the registered property, right, or interest, unless on like evidence a memorial thereof shall be made by the registrar on such certificate.
