N.Y. Real Property Law § 422: Reference of doubtful matters to the court

§ 422. Reference of doubtful matters to the court. When the registrar

is in doubt, and the parties in interest fail to agree as to the proper

memorial to be made in the title book of any deed, mortgage or other

voluntary instrument presented for registration, the questions shall be

referred to the court for decision, either on the certificate of the

registrar stating the question, or upon the suggestion in writing of any

party or parties in interest; and the court, after due notice to all

parties in interest, and a hearing, if necessary or proper, shall enter

an order prescribing the form of the memorial to be made by the

registrar, who shall make the memorial accordingly. In any judicial

proceeding affecting property, the title to which is then a registered

title, the court upon the application in writing of any party or parties

in interest after due notice to all other parties in interest and a

hearing, if necessary or proper, shall enter an order prescribing the

form of any memorial that should be made by the registrar in the title

book because or as the result of such proceeding; and the registrar,

upon the production of a certified copy of such order, shall make the

proper memorial in accordance with such order. After making such

memorial in the title book the registrar shall also make all other

memorials on existing certificates or make and deliver any new

certificates according to the circumstances and in the manner required

herein.
