N.Y. Tax Law § 1450-d — Liability for tax is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
* § 1450-d. Liability for tax. 1. The real estate transfer tax shall be paid by the grantee. If the grantee has failed to pay the tax imposed pursuant to this article or if the grantee is exempt from such tax, the grantor shall have the duty to pay the tax. Where the grantor has the duty to pay the tax because the grantee has failed to pay the tax, such tax shall be the joint and several liability of the grantee and the grantor.
2. For the purpose of the proper administration of this article and to prevent evasion of the tax hereby imposed, it shall be presumed that all conveyances are subject to the tax. Where the consideration includes property other than money, it shall be presumed that the consideration is the fair market value of the real property or interest therein. These presumptions shall prevail until the contrary is proven, and the burden of proving the contrary shall be on the person liable for payment of the tax.
