Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 45, November 9, 2024
Rule 3025 - Commencement of proceedings

A proceeding to revive which continues or creates the lien of a judgment may be commenced by filing with the prothonotary of the county in which the judgment has been entered

(1) a praecipe for a writ of revival substantially the form provided by Rule 3032, or
(2) an agreement to revive substantially the form provided by Rule 3034.

The revival of a judgment lien pursuant to the Commercial Real Estate Broker Lien Act is governed by these rules. See 68 P. S. § 1062.

A lien arising from an overdue support obligation retains its priority "without renewal or revival." See Section 4352(d.1)(5)(ii) of the Domestic Relations Code, 23 Pa.C.S. § 4352(d.1)(5)(ii).

The following statutes provide for revival or continuation of liens by filing with the prothonotary a suggestion of nonpayment and an averment of default:
