7-2-2255 . Transfer of court files and actions.
(1)The files of all actions in the office of the clerk of the district court of the old county, whether reduced to judgment or pending, for the recovery of the possession of, quieting the title to, or the enforcement of liens upon real estate lying wholly in the new county or any other actions affecting real estate lying wholly in the new county must be delivered by the clerk of the district court of the old county to the clerk of the district court of the new county to be kept and preserved as permanent files of the new county so that only the minutes and other entries in books kept by the clerk of the district court need to be transcribed.
(2)All actions pending in the district court of the old county or counties for the recovery of the possession of quieting title to or the enforcement of liens upon real estate lying wholly in the new county or any other actions affecting real estate lying wholly in the new county must, upon the delivery of the files to the clerk of the district court of the new county as provided in subsection (1), be transferred to the district court in which the new county may be attached for judicial purposes and are subject to the same laws as if the action had been originally brought in the district court of the new county.
