N.Y. Correction Law § 321: Application for appointment of committee

§ 321. Application for appointment of committee. Such application

shall be made upon personal notice of not less than twenty days to such

convicted person and to the district attorney of the county where the

conviction was had, and upon notice to such other persons as would be

entitled to notice of application for the probate of the will of such

convicted person if he were then dead leaving a will of real and

personal property, to be given in like manner as notice of application

for such probate. The application shall, among other things, set forth

the amount of the property of such person, and the names and residences

of his heirs-at-law and next of kin, as near as the same are known or

can be ascertained by the applicant. Upon such application and due proof

of the service of the notice herein required, the court may, in its

discretion, appoint a committee of the estate of such convicted person.

The person or persons so appointed as such committee shall file a bond

in the county clerk's office of such county, and in such amount and with

such sureties as the said court shall direct. A copy of the order

appointing such committee certified by the clerk of the county in which

the order is filed, shall be filed in every county in which any real

estate of such convicted person is situated.
