N.Y. Religious Corporations Law § 203: Conveyance or incumbrance of trust property of Friends

§ 203. Conveyance or incumbrance of trust property of Friends. The

trustee or trustees, or survivor of any trustees, of any meeting of the

Religious Society of Friends, appointed pursuant to the last preceding

section, may sell, convey and grant, mortgage, or demise any or all of

the trust property described in said trust deed or declaration of trust,

to any person absolutely or in trust for such meeting, whenever any

meeting of said society by resolution so directs. Any conveyance or

mortgage of real estate or property so held in trust by any meeting of

the Religious Society of Friends, which is hereafter made in pursuance

of a resolution of such meeting as provided herein, shall be as valid

and effectual for the conveyance or mortgage of the title of any real

estate so held in trust, as if the heirs of any trustee who has died

prior to the passage of such resolution had joined in the execution of

such conveyance, mortgage or demise. Any instrument for the sale,

mortgage or demise of such property shall embody such resolution, and be

executed and acknowledged by such trustee or trustees; and in such

acknowledgment such trustee or trustees shall make an affidavit that the

person or persons executing such conveyance, mortgage or demise are the

trustee or trustees of the trust property, and that the resolution

embodied in such conveyance, mortgage or demise was duly passed by such

meeting. Such affidavit shall be prima facie evidence of the facts

therein stated.
