202.65 Registration of title to real property; sales of real estate under court direction.
(a) Petitions for registration.
Petitions for the registration of titles to land made pursuant to article 12 of the Real Property Law shall be made to the Supreme Court in the county where the land or portion thereof affected by the petition is situated. Where a particular part has been designated for this purpose as a title part under the provisions of section 371 of such law, all petitions to register titles to land under the law must be returnable at the said title part. If there is no such part, petitions shall be returnable before the judge is assigned. Such title part or assigned judge is hereinafter denominated as the appropriate part or judge in this section.
(b) Application for final order and judgment of registration.
After the time provided in the notice of hearing shall have expired, or within such further time as may have been allowed by the court, if there have been no appearances or answers to the petition, the petitioner may apply to the appropriate part or judge for a final order and judgment of registration, as provided for in the law. In all applications for such final order and judgment of registration, the applicant or petitioner must present to the court proof by affidavit that all the provisions of the law entitling the petitioner to such final order and judgment of registration have been complied with.
(c) Application for jury trial.
Where an answer is interposed which raises an issue of fact which in an action relating to the title to real property would be triable by a jury, either or any party to the registration proceeding who is entitled to have such issue determined may apply to the appropriate part or judge within 20 days after the issue has been joined to have the issues framed to be tried by a jury, as provided by CPLR 4102(b). The trial of such issues shall be had and the subsequent proceedings in relation thereto shall be such as are prescribed by the CPLR. After such issues are disposed of, either or any party to the registration proceeding may apply to the appropriate part or judge, upon eight days' notice to all who have appeared in the registration proceeding, for a final order and judgment of registration, and on such application the court shall try all other issues in the proceeding not disposed of by the jury, or may refer any such issues undisposed of to be tried by an official examiner of title as referee. Where all issues have been disposed of, any party, upon eight days' notice to all who have appeared in the proceeding, may apply for the final order and judgment of registration at the appropriate part or before the appropriate assigned judge.
(d) Applications; notice requirements.
All applications to the court after a certificate of registration of title has been issued under the provisions of the law must be made at the appropriate part or before the appropriate assigned judge hereinbefore designated upon 20 days' notice to all persons interested in the said application. All applications to the court under sections 404-a and 422 of the Real Property Law shall be made to the appropriate part or judge upon eight days' notice to all persons in interest, as provided by that section. All applications made to the court under section 428 of the Real Property Law shall also be made to the appropriate part or judge, upon eight days' notice to the city or county treasurer and all other parties who have appeared in the proceeding to recover for loss or damage or deprivation of real property out of the assurance fund provided for by law.
(e) Sales of real estate.
All sales of real estate or an interest therein, made pursuant to a judgment, decree or order, or by an officer of the court under its direction, shall be made pursuant to section 231 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law, after notice as prescribed in that section. An auctioneer selected for this purpose must be an attorney, or a licensed real estate broker, or a salesman licensed for at least five years. The auctioneer's fee for conducting the sale shall be as prescribed by law.
