N.Y. Real Property Actions & Proceedings Law § 1093: Collusive recovery not to prejudice infant

§ 1093. Collusive recovery not to prejudice infant. Where a widow, not

having a right to dower, recovers dower against an infant, by the

default or collusion of his guardian, the infant shall not be prejudiced

thereby; but when he comes of full age, he may bring an action of

ejectment against the widow, to recover the property so wrongfully

awarded for dower, with damages from the time when she entered into

possession, although that is more than six years before the commencement

of the action.
