AI Explanation
New York allows foreign-language conveyances when the translation requirements are satisfied. Real Property Law §333 permits recording if the conveyance, acknowledgment or proof, and authentication are accompanied by an English translation made by a person duly designated by the county judge or a justice of the Supreme Court and certified under oath or affirmation. Not to be confused with a casual translation by any bilingual person, which does not meet the statute.
