N.Y. Real Property Actions & Proceedings Law § 1025: Damages against grantee of premises subject to dower

§ 1025. Damages against grantee of premises subject to dower. If the

defendant, in an action for dower, aliens the real property in question

after the filing of a notice of pendency of action and an execution

against him for the plaintiff's damages is returned wholly or partly

unsatisfied, an action may be maintained by the plaintiff against any

person who has been in possession of the property under the defendant's

conveyance, to recover the unsatisfied portion of the damages, for a

time not exceeding that during which he possessed the property.
