Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

My company has a California judgment against a Trust that owns a house in Illinois. We have been unable to collect the judgment and are considering getting a lien on the Illinois house. Does Illinois recognize foreign judgments for that purpose? If so, what forms must I fill out and where can I file them?
