N.Y. General Associations Law § 14: When action not to abate

§ 14. When action not to abate. The death or legal incapacity of a

member of the association does not affect an action or special

proceeding, brought as prescribed in the last two sections. If the

officer, by or against whom it is brought, dies, is removed, resigns, or

becomes otherwise incapacitated, during the pendency thereof, the court

must make an order, directing it to be continued by or against his

successor in office, or any other officer, by or against whom it might

have been originally commenced.
