SECTION 1507
Authority to mortgage, sell, lease or exchange 1
Surrogate's Court Procedure Act (SCP) CHAPTER 59-A, ARTICLE 15
§ 1507. Authority to mortgage, sell, lease or exchange

1. In any case in which the power to mortgage, sell, lease or
exchange real property does not exist under the provisions of EPTL
11-1.1 or for other reasons it is for the best interests of the trust,
the court of the county having jurisdiction of the trust may on such
terms and conditions as seem just and proper authorize any testamentary
trustee to mortgage, sell, lease or exchange real property or any part
thereof belonging to the trust.

2. If the application be entertained process shall issue to all
persons interested in the trust to show cause why the relief requested
in the petition should not be granted.

3. On the return of process the court shall make such order as
justice requires. Such order and the mortgage, sale, lease or exchange
executed in conformity therewith shall be binding and conclusive on the
remainders and reversions as well as the immediate or future trust
interests in the real property and shall be valid and effectual against
all persons under disability as defined in this act and persons not in
being, having estates or interests vested or contingent, for life or in
trust or in reversion or remainder in such real property or in the
proceeds of the sale thereof and shall bind and be conclusive against
all other persons so interested or having such estates or interests who
shall by acknowledged instrument consent to such order or who have been
made parties to the proceeding.
