N.Y. Abandoned Property Law § 1205: Contents of petition

§ 1205. Contents of petition. The petition shall briefly describe the

fund or property with respect to which the proceeding is brought, and

the nature of the action or proceeding which gave rise to the fund or

property. It may include one or more items, as the attorney-general may

be advised, without prejudice to his right subsequently to commence

proceedings relating to other items not included. It shall also set

forth the facts from which the court may find, or from which a

presumption may arise, that (a) the rightful owner or owners of the fund

or property are unknown; or (b) that they have died without having

disposed thereof, and without having left a will, disposing thereof and

without having left any heirs, next-of-kin or distributees; or (c) that

such property has been abandoned.
