Legal Terms & Definitions

Which of the following statements is NOT correct about a “conveyance” under Real Property Law §290?

A

It includes every written instrument by which an interest in real property is created, transferred, mortgaged, or assigned.

B

It includes an instrument postponing or subordinating a mortgage lien.

C

It includes a will.

D

It may include an instrument by which title to real property may be affected.

Correct Answer

C. It includes a will.

AI Explanation

The definition of conveyance is broad, but not unlimited. Real Property Law §290(3) includes many written instruments affecting real property, including mortgage assignments and subordination instruments, but expressly excludes a will. For contrast, a bill of sale concerns personal property, not a conveyance of real property.
