§ 8-02 Necessity of Certified Court Order for Payment.
RCNY § 8-02
(a)No payment, investment, surrender or delivery of court funds, property or security may be made by the Commissioner of Finance or any depositary, without a certified copy of an order or decree of the court having jurisdiction of such funds, property and securities, directing each such payment, investment, surrender or delivery. Payments may not be made on affidavits and proof of age alone. Moneys deposited for or on behalf of an infant payable when the infant attains his majority are not to be paid under the order directing the deposit unless that order also expressly directs the payment of such money on or after the day, month and year therein specified when the infant becomes of legal age.
(b)Court orders must be certified by the clerk of the court (CPLR § 2607).
(c)When the whole or remaining balance of payments of money into court in an action, or of a distributive share thereof, or any security or other property, is directed to be paid out of court, the order must direct the payment of all accrued income belonging to the party to whom such money or distributive share or remaining balance thereof, or security or other property is paid.
(d)If it is desired that the check for payment be mailed to the attorney for the claimant, a direction to that effect must be incorporated in the order of payment.
