1044 - Report thereupon. - New York Statutes

§ 1044. Report thereupon. All the commissioners must meet together in the performance of any of their duties; but the acts of a majority so met are valid. The referee, or the commissioners, or a majority of them, must make a full report of their proceedings, specifying therein the manner in which they have discharged their trust, with the items of their charges, and a particular description of the portion admeasured and laid off to the plaintiff; or, if they report that it is not practicable, or, in their opinion, it is not for the best interests of all the parties concerned, to admeasure and lay off a distinct parcel of the property of which dower is to be admeasured, they must state the reasons for that opinion and all the facts relating thereto. The report must be acknowledged or proved, and certified, in like manner as a deed to be recorded, and must be filed in the office of the clerk.
