N.Y. Religious Corporations Law § 7-a: Deeds for cemetery purposes; presumption

§ 7-a. Deeds for cemetery purposes; presumption. Every deed of

conveyance of real property to a religious corporation used for cemetery

purposes, whether heretofore or hereafter recorded, shall be presumptive

evidence that the conveyance vested in the grantee and its successors a

fee simple absolute in the premises therein described, subject to the

limitations and conditions therein prescribed, and that all proceedings

prior thereto, including the consent of the court, if required, were

regular and in accordance with all the provisions of law relating

thereto. At the expiration of twenty years from the date of record of

any such conveyance, heretofore or hereafter recorded, such presumption

shall be conclusive.
