N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 7512: Death or incompetency of a party

§ 7512. Death or incompetency of a party. Where a party dies after

making a written agreement to submit a controversy to arbitration, the

proceedings may be begun or continued upon the application of, or upon

notice to, his executor or administrator or, where it relates to real

property, his distributee or devisee who has succeeded to his interest

in the real property. Where a committee of the property or of the person

of a party to such an agreement is appointed, the proceedings may be

continued upon the application of, or notice to, the committee. Upon the

death or incompetency of a party, the court may extend the time within

which an application to confirm, vacate or modify the award or to stay

arbitration must be made. Where a party has died since an award was

delivered, the proceedings thereupon are the same as where a party dies

after a verdict.
