N.Y. Debtor & Creditor Law § 76: Assignment; contents, and to whom made

§ 76. Assignment; contents, and to whom made. The order must designate

one or more trustees, residents of the state; and must direct the

petitioner to execute, to him or them, an assignment of all his

property, at law or in equity, in possession, reversion, or remainder,

excepting only so much thereof, as is exempt by law from levy and sale,

by virtue of an execution. The assignment must be acknowledged or

proved, and certified, in like manner as a deed to be recorded in the

county, and must be recorded in the clerk's office of the county. Where

it appears, from the schedule or otherwise, that real property will pass

thereby, it must be also recorded as a deed, in the proper office for

recording deeds, of each county where the real property is situated.
