N.Y. Debtor & Creditor Law § 11: Proceedings in case of death of assignee

§ 11. Proceedings in case of death of assignee. In case an assignee

shall die during the pendency of any proceeding under this article, or

at any time subsequent to the filing of any bond required herein, his

personal representative or successor in office, or both, may be brought

in and substituted in such proceeding on such notice, of not less than

eight days, as the judge may direct to be given; and any decree made

thereafter shall bind the parties thus substituted as well as the

property of such deceased assignee, provided, however, that if such

assignee dies subsequent to the filing of his bond and before any

proceedings may have been had thereunder, then the surety on such bond

may apply to the judge for an accounting, who may, on such terms as to

him seem just and proper, appoint another assignee and release such

surety.
