  committee of the property of such incompetent person or the  conservator
  of  the  conservatee,  and for good and sufficient cause shown, and upon
  such terms as it may direct, authorize the committee or  conservator  to
  sell,  compromise  or compound any claim or debt belonging to the estate
  of the incompetent person or conservatee. But such authority  shall  not
  prevent  any party interested in the trust estate, from showing upon the
  final accounting of such committee or  conservator  that  such  debt  or
  claim  was  fraudulently or negligently sold, compounded or compromised.
  The sale of any debt or claim heretofore made in good faith by any  such
  committee  or  conservator,  shall  be  valid,  subject, however, to the
  approval of the court, and the committee or conservator shall be charged
  with and liable for, as a part of the trust fund, any sum which might or

  or  a conservator of the property of a conservatee, may, under direction
  of the court exercising jurisdiction of such estate,  after  payment  of
  the expenses, disbursements and commissions of such trust, apply so much
  of  the  funds and property of said estate remaining in his or her hands
  as such committee or  conservator,  as  may  be  necessary  to  pay  and
  discharge  the  proper  claims  of  creditors  who have presented claims
  pursuant to the notice in this article provided for, to the  payment  of
  such  claims,  and  if  the property so remaining be insufficient to pay
  such claims in full, then the committee or  conservator  may  distribute
  the  same  according  to  law among the creditors who have presented and
  proved their claims as in this article provided, and such payment,  when
  so  made  in good faith and under direction of such court, shall relieve
  such committee or conservator and his or her sureties from liability  to
  creditors  who  have  failed  to present their claims as in this article
  provided.

  interested in the estate of such incompetent person or  conservatee,  as
  creditors  or  otherwise,  requiring them to appear in court on some day
  therein to be specified, to make proof of their several claims  if  they
  be  creditors,  and  to  show  cause  why  a  settlement of accounts and
  proceedings of the committee or conservator  up  to  the  date  of  such
  hearing  should  not  be  had,  and  if no cause be shown, to attend the
  settlement of such account. All such citations  must  be  returnable  in
  court,  and  said  court when not otherwise engaged shall always be open
  for proceedings under this article. Such  citations  may  be  issued  on
  petition  of  such  committee  or  conservator, or of one or more of his
  sureties, or of a creditor of such incompetent person or conservatee, or
  other person interested in said estate; and when issued on a petition of
  a committee, conservator, or his surety, it may be issued  at  any  time
  after  the  appointment  of  such committee or conservator, in any other
  case, after lapse of one year from the appointment of such committee  or
  conservator,  or  upon  his removal or resignation. A citation issued on
  petition of a creditor may be addressed to and served on  the  committee
  or  conservator  alone, but on or after the return of such citation, the
  committee or conservator may have  a  general  citation  issued  to  all

the sum of the debtor's debts is greater than the sum  of  the  debtor's
assets.
(b)  A  debtor that is generally not paying the debtor's debts as they
become due other than as a result of a bona fide dispute is presumed  to

insolvency is more probable than its existence.
(c)  Assets  under  this section do not include property that has been

extent  it  is  secured  by  a  valid lien on property of the debtor not
included as an asset.

promisor's business to furnish support to the debtor or another person.
(b) For the purposes of paragraph two of subdivision  (a)  of  section
two  hundred  seventy-three and section two hundred seventy-four of this
article, a person gives a reasonably  equivalent  value  if  the  person
acquires  an  interest of the debtor in an asset pursuant to a regularly
conducted, noncollusive foreclosure sale or execution of a power of sale
for the acquisition or disposition of the interest of  the  debtor  upon
default under a mortgage, deed of trust, or security agreement.

debtor and the transferee is intended by them to be contemporaneous  and
is in fact substantially contemporaneous.

debtor; or
(2)  without  receiving  a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for
the transfer or obligation, and the debtor:
(i) was engaged or was about to engage in a business or a  transaction
for  which the remaining assets of the debtor were unreasonably small in
relation to the business or transaction; or
(ii) intended to incur, or believed or reasonably should have believed
that the debtor would incur, debts beyond the debtor's ability to pay as
they became due.

whether:
(1) the transfer or obligation was to an insider;
(2)  the  debtor  retained  possession  or  control  of  the  property
transferred after the transfer;
(3) the transfer or obligation was disclosed or concealed;
(4) before the transfer was  made  or  obligation  was  incurred,  the
debtor had been sued or threatened with suit;
(5) the transfer was of substantially all the debtor's assets;
(6) the debtor absconded;
(7) the debtor removed or concealed assets;

transfer was made or the obligation was incurred;
(10)  the  transfer  occurred  shortly  before  or  shortly  after   a
substantial debt was incurred; and
(11)  the debtor transferred the essential assets of the business to a
lienor that transferred the assets to an insider of the debtor.

section has the burden of proving the elements of the claim  for  relief
by a preponderance of the evidence.

transfer made or obligation incurred by a debtor is  voidable  as  to  a
creditor  whose  claim  arose  before  the  transfer  was  made  or  the
obligation was incurred if the debtor made the transfer or incurred  the
obligation  without  receiving a reasonably equivalent value in exchange
for the transfer or obligation and the debtor was insolvent at that time
or  the  debtor  became  insolvent  as  a  result  of  the  transfer  or
obligation.
(b)  A  transfer  made  by a debtor is voidable as to a creditor whose
claim arose before the transfer was made if the transfer was made to  an
insider  for  an antecedent debt, the debtor was insolvent at that time,
and the insider had reasonable cause to  believe  that  the  debtor  was
insolvent.
(c)  Subject  to subdivision (b) of section two hundred seventy-one of
this article, a creditor making a claim for relief under subdivision (a)
or (b) of this section has the burden of proving  the  elements  of  the

acquire an interest in the asset that is superior to the interest of the
transferee; and
(2) with respect to an asset that is not real property or  that  is  a
fixture,  when  the  transfer  is  so far perfected that a creditor on a

(b) if applicable law permits the transfer to be perfected as provided
in subdivision (a) of this section and the transfer is not so  perfected

asset transferred; and
(e) an obligation is incurred:

delivered to or for the benefit of the obligee.

2023 New York Laws › DOM - Domestic Relations › Article 3 - Solemnization, Proof and Effect of Marriage › 13-D - Duty of Clerk Issuing Marriage License.

§  13-d.  Duty  of  clerk issuing marriage license. 1. It shall be the
  duty of each town and each city clerk or duly authorized  deputy  acting
  in the clerk's stead, upon the issuance of a marriage license to display
  to the parties a typed or printed statement containing substantially the
  same following information:
"Rubella,  also  known  as  'German  measles',  is  a common childhood
  disease.   It is  usually  not  serious  to  children  who  contract  it
  themselves, but can be a tragic crippler of unborn babies if transmitted
  to pregnant women.
Rubella infection poses a grave threat to the unborn child, especially
  during  the  first four months of pregnancy. It can lead to miscarriage,
  stillbirth, or one or all  of  the  tragic  defects  such  as  deafness,
  blindness,  crippling congenital heart disease, developmental disability
  and muscular and bone defects.
In order to be immune to rubella, one must either receive the  rubella
  vaccine  or  actually  have  had  the  disease.  To  see whether you are
  susceptible to rubella, you can get a blood test from your doctor.  Even
  more  important  is  the  availability  of  a rubella vaccine which will
  prevent you from ever contracting the disease.
In order to protect yourself, your family, and  your  friends,  please
  take steps to prevent the tragic effects of rubella. Please contact your
  family  doctor,  health  care provider, public health facility or clinic
  for further information."
2. It shall also be the duty of each  town  and  city  clerk  or  duly
  authorized  deputy  acting  in  the  clerk's  stead  to  provide to each
  applicant for a marriage license information regarding  the  Thalassemia
  Trait. The department of health shall prepare information, including but
  not limited to, the blood disorder Thalassemia Trait and other inherited
  conditions affecting the population of New York state.
3.  No  cause of action for damages shall arise in favor of any person
  or person yet to be born by reason of any failure  to  comply  with  the
  provisions of this section.
