2006 New York Code - Disposition Of Property

 
    §  455.  Disposition  of  property.  Whenever a Coptic Orthodox parish
  shall hereafter be duly divided by the Coptic  Orthodox  bishop  of  the
  diocese  in  which  said parish is located into two parishes within such
  diocese, then the Coptic Orthodox bishop or his successor shall have the
  right and power, of himself independently of any action  or  consent  on
  the  part  of  the  trustees  of  the  original  Coptic  Orthodox Church
  corporation to transfer assets, with or without valuable  consideration,
  from  the  original  Coptic  Orthodox  corporation  to the new or second
  Coptic Orthodox Church corporation. Said transfer shall be made by  said
  bishop  or  his successor after having complied with the requirements of
  this chapter in the  same  manner  as  the  trustees  of  any  religious
  corporation  are  compelled  to  do  before  making a transfer of church
  property.
