(1) In all counties created out of any other county wherever there has been an action or proceeding begun affecting any real property situated within the new county, whether the action has been prosecuted to judgment or not, upon a written motion being filed by any person or persons interested in the real property affected by the action or proceeding requesting the transfer of the files and papers and records of the action or proceeding to the office of the clerk of the district court of the new county in which the real property is situated, it is the duty of the judge of the district court in which the action or proceeding was originally begun to order that a transfer of all the files and papers of the action or proceeding be made to the office of the clerk of the district court of the new county in which the real property is situated. When an order of transfer is made, it is the duty of the clerk of the district court in which the action or proceeding was originally instituted to transmit all of the files and papers in the action or proceeding, together with a certified copy of all minutes of the court relating to the action or proceeding, to the clerk of the new county in which the real property, the subject matter of the action or proceeding, is situated.
     (2) The clerk of the district court of the new county in which the property is situated shall, upon the receipt of the files and papers and certified copies of the minutes of the court, file the papers in the clerk's office as transferred files from the original county and shall enter and transcribe upon the clerk's records any final judgment or decree or order contained in the files or papers or records transferred.
     (3) Upon the receipt and filing of the files and papers in any action or proceeding transferred to a new county in accordance with the provisions of this section, the district court of the new county in which the files and papers have been transferred has the same jurisdiction with reference to the real property for the enforcement of any decree, judgment, or order that may have been entered or for other proceedings that may be necessary in the action or proceeding as the district court had in the county in which the action or proceeding was originally begun.
