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.

Detailed 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.
