Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

It seems that lately some of my clients who didn't own real estate when we
filed BK years ago are now having that problem of old judgment liens
"attaching" to property acquired after the BK discharge. I usually just
send a copy of the discharge to the title company and they will then ignore
the old judgment.
However, I am wondering whether the creditor is obligated to record
something about the discharge in order to make sure that the judgment lien
doesn't appear to attach to after acquired property, or if I should be
recording a copy of the discharge right after the discharge is entered.
What is your approach?
