Which instrument is expressly excluded from the definition of "conveyance" in Real Property Law 290?
Why: Real Property Law 290(3) excludes a will, a short lease of not more than three years, an executory contract for sale or purchase of land, and an instrument containing a power to convey as agent or attorney. Mortgages, subordinations and instruments in execution of a power are all inside the definition.
What does the term "conveyance" cover under Real Property Law 290?
Why: The definition is written broadly around effect on title, not around the name of the document. The exclusions that follow are what narrow it.
