N.Y. Real Property Law § 336: Effect of recording demands or requirements of noncitizen property custodian

§ 336. Effect of recording demands or requirements of noncitizen

property custodian. The recording in any county clerk's or register's

office of a demand or requirement against real property described

therein, made by or on behalf of the noncitizen property custodian under

and pursuant to the trading with the enemy act adopted by the United

States congress and approved October sixth, nineteen hundred and

seventeen, or any act amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto, or any

executive order or proclamation issued in pursuance thereof, when duly

indexed against the name of the person or corporation whose property has

thereby been demanded or required, shall have the same force and effect

as the making of, delivery and recording of a deed of such real property

or interest therein by such person or corporation to said noncitizen

property custodian. All recitals contained in any such demand or

requirement, and in any deed made by such custodian heretofore or

hereafter recorded of all facts required or permitted by said acts,

proclamations or executive orders to be found or determined by said

noncitizen property custodian, and all recitals of conclusions or

determinations by said acts, proclamations or executive orders

authorized to be made by such individual, and all recitals of acts or

things done by said custodian or agents thereof in respect to the

seizure of said property shall be evidence of the facts, conclusions,

determinations, acts and things so recited in any court of this state in

any action or proceeding affecting the title to or ownership of such

real property. Three months after this section takes effect and the

recording of the instrument containing such recitals, the same shall

become conclusive evidence of all such facts, conclusions,

determinations, acts and things as are so recited therein in any action

in any court affecting the title to or ownership of said land, unless

said action shall have been commenced before the expiration of such

three months.
