N.Y. Village Law § 15-1502: Division into lots; conveyances of lots

§ 15-1502 Division into lots; conveyances of lots. The board of

cemetery commissioners shall have the supervision and control of all

village cemeteries. It shall cause the same to be divided into lots, and

provide for the conveyance thereof to individuals for the sole purpose

of interments, and upon the payment of the purchase-price of any lot,

shall, in the name of the village, execute, acknowledge and deliver a

conveyance to the purchaser thereof. The clerk of the village shall keep

a record of the sale of each lot, its number, the date of sale and the

name of the purchaser; and shall record each conveyance thereof. No

sale, transfer or assignment of such lot or any interest therein

subsequent to the sale by the village shall be valid, unless by an

instrument in writing signed and duly acknowledged and recorded in the

office of the village clerk. The clerk shall be entitled to the same

fees as the county clerk for the recording of each conveyance.
