§ 336 SECTION 336 Effect of recording demands or requirements of noncitizen property custodian

RPL § 336

The recording in any county clerk's or register's office of a demand or requirement against real property described therein, made by or on behalf of the noncitizen property custodian under and pursuant to the trading with the enemy act adopted by the United States congress and approved October sixth, nineteen hundred and seventeen, or any act amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto, or any executive order or proclamation issued in pursuance thereof, when duly indexed against the name of the person or corporation whose property has thereby been demanded or required, shall have the same force and effect as the making of, delivery and recording of a deed of such real property or interest therein by such person or corporation to said noncitizen property custodian. All recitals contained in any such demand or requirement, and in any deed made by such custodian heretofore or hereafter recorded of all facts required or permitted by said acts, proclamations or executive orders to be found or determined by said noncitizen property custodian, and all recitals of conclusions or determinations by said acts, proclamations or executive orders authorized to be made by such individual, and all recitals of acts or things done by said custodian or agents thereof in respect to the seizure of said property shall be evidence of the facts, conclusions, determinations, acts and things so recited in any court of this state in any action or proceeding affecting the title to or ownership of such real property. Three months after this section takes effect and the recording of the instrument containing such recitals, the same shall become conclusive evidence of all such facts, conclusions, determinations, acts and things as are so recited therein in any action in any court affecting the title to or ownership of said land, unless said action shall have been commenced before the expiration of such three months.
