N.Y. Real Property Actions & Proceedings Law § 941: Judgment as to parties having interest in entire property

§ 941. Judgment as to parties having interest in entire property. If

a tenant by the curtesy or for life or for years of the entire property,

or a person entitled to a contingent or vested remainder or reversion in

the entire property, or a creditor, or other person, having a lien or

interest which attaches to the entire property, be made a defendant in

the action, the final judgment either may award to such a party his

entire right and interest, or the proceeds thereof, or where the right

or interest is contingent, direct that the proceeds or share thereof be

substituted for the property and invested for whoever may eventually be

entitled thereto, or may reserve and leave unaffected his right and

interest, or any portion thereof.
