New Jersey § 46:7-2

§ 46:7-2.

Where any conveyance of real estate has been, prior to April 6, 1915, made, executed

and recorded, in which conveyance it shall appear that the persons therein named as

grantees have taken the title to such real estate in behalf of or in the interest

of any unincorporated religious association, society, meeting, congregation or organization,

upon condition that the real estate so granted and conveyed shall be held in trust

for any specific uses and purposes, and such association, society, meeting, congregation

or organization shall have thereafter become incorporated as a religious society under

the laws of this State, any surviving person or persons named in such conveyance as

a grantee may, by deed of conveyance, containing a proper recital, convey the real

estate mentioned in the original conveyance to the religious association, society,

meeting, congregation or organization, in behalf of which or in whose interest title

to the same was taken, in its present corporate name. If there shall be no such surviving grantee, the oldest adult child, or adult grandchild

if such child be deceased, of such last surviving grantee may make the deed of conveyance

herein provided for. Any deed of conveyance, made by any surviving grantee or grantees, or oldest adult

child or adult grandchild of the last surviving grantee, shall be as valid and effectual

in law as if made and executed by the grantees named in such original conveyance,

and the title to such real estate shall thereby vest in the incorporated religious

association, society, meeting, congregation or organization, as effectually as if

the same had been incorporated at the time of the original conveyance and had taken

title to such real estate directly in its corporate name.
