N.Y. General Obligations Law § 13-103: Transfer of judgment for sum of money

§ 13-103. Transfer of judgment for sum of money. A judgment for a sum

of money, or directing the payment of a sum of money, recovered upon any

cause of action, may be transferred; but if it is vacated or reversed,

the transfer thereof does not transfer the cause of action unless the

latter was transferable before the judgment was recovered. A person who

executes such a transfer without acknowledging his signature before an

officer authorized to take the acknowledgment of a deed must so

acknowledge it at the request of his assignee or of a subsequent

assignee or of the judgment debtor upon payment of the officer's fees.
