76 - Assignment; contents, and to whom made. - New York Statutes

§ 76. Assignment; contents, and to whom made. The order must designate one or more trustees, residents of the state; and must direct the petitioner to execute, to him or them, an assignment of all his property, at law or in equity, in possession, reversion, or remainder, excepting only so much thereof, as is exempt by law from levy and sale, by virtue of an execution. The assignment must be acknowledged or proved, and certified, in like manner as a deed to be recorded in the county, and must be recorded in the clerk's office of the county. Where it appears, from the schedule or otherwise, that real property will pass thereby, it must be also recorded as a deed, in the proper office for recording deeds, of each county where the real property is situated.
