2006 New York Code - Final Judgment Upon Confirming Sale.

 
    § 1079. Final judgment upon confirming sale. Upon confirming the sale,
  the  court  must  ascertain, by a reference or otherwise, the rights and
  interests of each of the parties in and to the proceeds of the sale, and
  also what gross sum of money is equal to the value  of  the  plaintiff's
  dower  in  the  net proceeds of the sale, calculated upon the principles
  applicable to life annuities. The  court  must  thereupon  render  final
  judgment  confirming  the  sale  and  directing  that  the  gross sum so
  ascertained be paid to the plaintiff, in full satisfaction of her  right
  of  dower  and  that  the  remainder  of  the  proceeds  of  the sale be
  distributed among the persons entitled thereto.
