2006 New York Code - Liens Not Affected.

 
    §  79.  Liens  not affected. Nothing in this article shall prevent the
  enforcement of any lien as provided in articles two and  three  of  this
  chapter  and  neither  such  lien nor any satisfaction obtained thereby,
  shall  be  deemed  a  diversion  of  trust  assets  or  an  unauthorized
  preference.  For  the  purposes  of  determining  the share of any trust
  beneficiary upon any distribution in an action to enforce the trust, the
  trust claim of a trust beneficiary shall not be reduced by reason of any
  lien to which he is entitled or by reason of any rights under  any  bond
  to which he is entitled by reason of his lien.
