§  1041.  Interlocutory  judgment  for admeasurement. If the defendant   makes default in appearing or pleading or if the right of the  plaintiff   to  dower  is  not  disputed  by  the  answer,  or if it appears, by the   verdict, report, or  decision  upon  a  trial,  that  the  plaintiff  is   entitled  to  dower  in  the real property described in the complaint an   interlocutory judgment must  be  rendered  which,  except  as  otherwise   prescribed  in  this  article, must direct that the plaintiff's dower in   the property, particularly describing it, be admeasured  by  a  referee,   designated  in  the  judgment,  or  by three reputable and disinterested   freeholders, designated therein, as commissioners for that purpose.

2021 New York Laws RPA - Real Property Actions and Proceedings Article 10 - Action for Dower 1043 - Dower, How Admeasured.

§  1043.  Dower, how admeasured. The referee or the commissioners must   execute their duties in the following manner:1. They must, if it is practicable, and, in  their  opinion,  for  the   best  interests  of all the parties concerned, admeasure and lay off, as   speedily as possible, as the dower of the plaintiff, a distinct  parcel,   constituting  the  one-third part of the real property of which dower is   to be admeasured, designating the part so laid off by posts, stones,  or   other permanent monuments.2.  In making the admeasurement, they must take into consideration any   permanent improvements, made upon the real property, after the death  of   the plaintiff's husband, or after the alienation thereof by him; and, if   practicable, those improvements must be awarded within the part not laid   off  to  the plaintiff; or, if it is not practicable so to award them, a   deduction must be  made  from  the  part  laid  off  to  the  plaintiff,   proportionate to the benefit which she will derive from so much of those   improvements, as is included in the part laid off to her.3.  If  it is not practicable, or if, in the opinion of the referee or   commissioners, it is not for the  best  interests  of  all  the  parties   concerned,  to  admeasure and lay off to the plaintiff a distinct parcel   of the property, as prescribed in the  foregoing  subdivisions  of  this   section, they must report that fact to the court.4.  They  may employ a surveyor, with the necessary assistants, to aid   in the admeasurement.

The referee, or the commissioners, or a majority of them,   must  make  a  full  report of their proceedings, specifying therein the   manner in which they have discharged their  trust,  with  the  items  of   their  charges,  and  a particular description of the portion admeasured   and laid off to the plaintiff;  or,  if  they  report  that  it  is  not   practicable,  or,  in their opinion, it is not for the best interests of   all the parties concerned, to admeasure and lay off a distinct parcel of   the property of which dower is to be admeasured,  they  must  state  the   reasons  for that opinion and all the facts relating thereto. The report   must be acknowledged or proved, and certified, in like manner as a  deed   to be recorded, and must be filed in the office of the clerk.

Each assistant so employed is entitled to two dollars for each   day actually and necessarily occupied in serving  under  the  surveyor's   direction.

NY Real Prop Actions L § 1061 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPA - Real Property Actions and Proceedings Article 10 - Action for Dower 1061 - Final Judgment.

§  1061. Final judgment. Upon the report being confirmed by the court,   final judgment must be rendered. If the referee  or  commissioners  have   admeasured  and  laid  off  to  the  plaintiff  a distinct parcel of the   property, the judgment must award to her, during her natural  life,  the   possession  of that parcel, describing it, subject to the payment of all   taxes, assessments, and other  charges,  accruing  thereupon  after  she   takes  possession.  If  the referee or the commissioners report, that is   not practicable, or that, in his or their opinion, it  is  not  for  the   best interests of all the parties concerned, so to admeasure and lay off   a  distinct parcel of the property, the final judgment must direct, that   a sum, fixed by the court, and specified therein, equal to one-third  of   the  rental value of the real property, as ascertained by a reference or   otherwise, be paid to the plaintiff, annually or oftener, as directed in   the judgment, during her natural life, for her dower  in  the  property;   and  that  the  sum  so  to  be  paid,  be  and remain a charge upon the   property, during her natural life. The final  judgment  may  also  award   damages for the withholding of dower.
NY Real Prop Actions L § 1062 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPA - Real Property Actions and Proceedings Article 10 - Action for Dower 1062 - Plaintiff May Recover Sum Awarded; Court May Modify Judgment.

§  1062. Plaintiff may recover sum awarded; court may modify judgment.   The plaintiff may, from time to time, maintain  an  action  against  the   owner,  or  a  person  who was the owner of the property, to recover any   instalment of the sum, so awarded to her for her dower, which became due   during his ownership, and remains unpaid. Or, if an  instalment  remains   due  and  unpaid,  she  may  maintain an action to procure a sale of the   property, and enforce the payment of the instalments, due and to  become   due,  out  of the proceeds of the sale. Such an action must be conducted   as if the charge upon the real property  was  a  mortgage  to  the  same   effect.    If,  at  any time, it is made to appear to the court that the   rental  value  of  the  real  property  has  materially   increased   or   diminished,  the  court  may, by an order, to be made upon notice to all   the persons interested, modify  the  final  judgment  by  increasing  or   diminishing the sum to be paid to the plaintiff.

§  1063.  Junior incumbrances; not affected by admeasurement.  Where a   portion of the property is admeasured and laid off to the  plaintiff  as   her  dower,  a  lien which is inferior to the plaintiff's right of dower   attaches, during the life of the plaintiff, to the residue,  or  to  the   portion  or  share  of  the  residue  which was subject to it, as if the   portion laid off to the plaintiff had not been a part of the property.
NY Real Prop Actions L § 1064 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPA - Real Property Actions and Proceedings Article 10 - Action for Dower 1064 - Appeal Not to Stay Execution if Undertaking Is Given.

§  1064.  Appeal  not  to  stay  execution if undertaking is given. An   appeal from a final judgment awarding to the plaintiff possession of the   part admeasured and laid off to her does not stay the execution  thereof   unless  the  court, or a judge thereof, grants an order directing such a   stay. Such an order shall not be granted if an undertaking is  given  on   the  part  of  the respondent, with one or more sureties approved by the   court, or a judge thereof, to the effect that, if the judgment  appealed   from  is  reversed or modified, and restitution is awarded, she will pay   to the person entitled thereto the value of the use  and  occupation  of   the  part  so  admeasured  and  laid  off  to  her,  or  of  the portion   restitution of which is awarded, during the time  she  holds  possession   thereof, by virtue of the judgment.

In an action for   dower,  the  plaintiff may, at any time before an interlocutory judgment   is rendered, by reason  of  the  defendant's  default  in  appearing  or   pleading,  or,  where an issue of fact is joined, at any time before the   commencement of the trial, file with the clerk a  consent  to  accept  a   gross  sum,  in full satisfaction and discharge of her right of dower in   the real property described in the complaint. Such a consent must be  in   writing,  and acknowledged or proved, and certified, in like manner as a   deed to be recorded. A copy thereof, with notice of the filing, must  be   served  upon  each  adverse party who has appeared, or who appears after   the filing.
NY Real Prop Actions L § 1072 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPA - Real Property Actions and Proceedings Article 10 - Action for Dower 1072 - Defendant May Consent to Pay It; Proceedings Thereupon.

§  1072.  Defendant  may consent to pay it; proceedings thereupon.  At   any time after a consent is filed, as prescribed in  section  1071,  and   before an interlocutory judgment is rendered, any defendant may apply to   the  court,  upon  notice, for an order granting him leave to pay such a   gross sum. Thereupon the court may, in its  discretion,  and  upon  such   terms  as justice requires, ascertain the value of the plaintiff's right   of dower in the property, by a reference or otherwise, and make an order   directing payment by the applicant of the sum so ascertained,  within  a   time  fixed  by  the  order, not exceeding sixty days after service of a   copy thereof and directing the execution by the plaintiff of  a  release   of her right of dower, upon receipt of the money. Obedience to the order   may  be  enforced, either by punishment for contempt, or by striking out   the pleading of the offending party and rendering judgment  against  him   or her, in both modes.
NY Real Prop Actions L § 1073 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPA - Real Property Actions and Proceedings Article 10 - Action for Dower 1073 - Interlocutory Judgment for Sale.

§ 1073. Interlocutory judgment for sale. Where the plaintiff's consent   has  been  filed as prescribed in section 1071 and she is entitled to an   interlocutory  judgment  in  the  action,  the  court  must,  upon   the   application  of  either  party,  ascertain,  by  reference or otherwise,   whether a distinct parcel of the property can be admeasured and laid off   to the plaintiff, as tenant in dower, without  material  injury  to  the   interests  of  the  parties.  If it appears to the court that a distinct   parcel cannot be so admeasured and laid off, the interlocutory  judgment   must,  except in the case specified in the section 1074, direct that the   property be sold by the sheriff, or by a referee designated therein; and   that, upon the confirmation of the sale, each party to the  action,  and   every  person  deriving title from, through, or under a party, after the   filing of the judgment-roll, or of a  notice  of  the  pendency  of  the   action  as prescribed by law, be barred of and from any right, title, or   interest in or to the property sold.
NY Real Prop Actions L § 1074 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPA - Real Property Actions and Proceedings Article 10 - Action for Dower 1074 - Direction That a Part Be Laid Off.

§  1074.  Direction  that  a  part be laid off. In a case specified in   section 1071, where the property, or a part thereof, consists of one  or   more  vacant  or  unimproved lots, the plaintiff's consent may contain a   stipulation to take a distinct parcel, out of those lots, in lieu  of  a   gross  sum.  In  that  case,  the  interlocutory  judgment,  instead  of   directing a sale, may direct if it appears to be just  so  to  do,  that   commissioners  be  appointed to admeasure and lay off to the plaintiff a   distinct parcel, out of the vacant or unimproved lots; and, if there  is   any  other property, that it be sold, and a gross sum be paid to her out   of the proceeds thereof, as prescribed in sections 1075, 1076, 1077  and   1078. The plaintiff's title to each distinct parcel, admeasured and laid   off  to  her,  as  prescribed  in  this section, is that of an estate of   inheritance in fee simple. In admeasuring and laying off the  same,  the   commissioners  must  consider quantity and quality relatively, according   to the value of  the  plaintiff's  right  of  dower  in  the  vacant  or   unimproved  lots,  out  of  which the admeasurement is to be made; which   must be ascertained, in proportion  to  the  value  of  those  lots,  as   prescribed in sections 1075, 1076, 1077 and 1078, for fixing a gross sum   to be paid to her out of the proceeds of a sale.

2021 New York Laws RPA - Real Property Actions and Proceedings Article 10 - Action for Dower 1075 - Liens to Be Ascertained.

§  1075.  Liens to be ascertained. Before an interlocutory judgment is   rendered for the sale of the property, the court must direct a reference   to ascertain whether any person  not  a  party,  has  a  lien  upon  the   property,  or  any  part thereof.   But the court may direct or dispense   with such reference, in its discretion, where a party produces a search,   certified by the clerk, or  by  the  clerk  and  register  as  the  case   requires,  of  the  county where the property is situated and it appears   therefrom, and by the affidavits, if any, produced therewith, that there   is no such outstanding lien.  Except as otherwise  expressly  prescribed   in  this  article,  the proceedings upon and subsequent to the reference   must be the same as prescribed by law where a reference is  made  in  an   action  for  partition  to  ascertain  whether there is a creditor not a   party who has a lien on the share or interest of a party.

§  1076.  Satisfaction  or protection of lien. Where the interlocutory   judgment directs a sale, if the right  of  dower  of  the  plaintiff  is   inferior  to  any other lien upon the property, the judgment may, in the   discretion of the court, direct that the property be sold either subject   to the lien, or discharged from the lien; and, in the latter case,  that   the  officer  making  the  sale  pay  the  amount of the lien out of the   proceeds of the sale.

§ 1077. Payment of taxes, assessments and water rates out of proceeds.   Where  a judgment, rendered in an action for dower directs a sale of the   real property, the officer making the sale must, out  of  the  proceeds,   unless  the  judgment otherwise directs, pay all taxes, assessments, and   water rates which are liens  upon  the  property  sold  and  redeem  the   property  sold  from  any  sales for unpaid taxes, assessments, or water   rates which have not apparently become absolute. The sums  necessary  to   make those payments and redemptions are deemed expenses of the sale.

§  1078.  Report  of  sale.  Immediately after completing the sale and   executing the proper conveyance to the purchaser, the officer making the   sale must make and file with the clerk a  report  thereof,  showing  the   name  of  the  purchaser  and the purchase-price paid by him, or, if the   property was sold in parcels, the name of each purchaser and  the  price   and  a description of the parcel sold to him, the sums which the officer   has paid out of the proceeds of the sale, pursuant to the  interlocutory   judgment,  the  purpose  for which each payment was made, the amount and   items of his fees and expenses, and the  net  amount  of  the  proceeds,   after deducting the payments.

§ 1079. Final judgment upon confirming sale. Upon confirming the sale,   the  court  must  ascertain, by a reference or otherwise, the rights and   interests of each of the parties in and to the proceeds of the sale, and   also what gross sum of money is equal to the value  of  the  plaintiff's   dower  in  the  net proceeds of the sale, calculated upon the principles   applicable to life annuities. The  court  must  thereupon  render  final   judgment  confirming  the  sale  and  directing  that  the  gross sum so   ascertained be paid to the plaintiff, in full satisfaction of her  right   of  dower  and  that  the  remainder  of  the  proceeds  of  the sale be   distributed among the persons entitled thereto.
