New York Consolidated Laws, Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law - RPA § 1613. Order of confirmation;  contents and subsequent procedures

1. When the agreement reported to the court pursuant to the provisions of section 1612 appears to the court to conform in all particulars to the final order authorizing the transaction, an order shall be made approving and confirming the agreement and directing the trustee or referee to execute and to deliver the mortgage, lease or deed of such real property which is required thereby.  No order of confirmation shall be withheld on the ground that the market value of such real property has changed between the execution of such agreement and the hearing of the application for confirmation thereof.

2. The order of confirmation, in the discretion of the court, shall direct the payment to each participant in the proceeding of the reasonable disbursements made or incurred by him in the course of the proceeding, and shall make such reasonable allowances, as to the court seem proper, to persons who have served in the proceeding as referee, guardian ad litem, or counsel;  and shall direct the mode of payment of all these allowances.

3. The order of confirmation shall also include such provisions as justice may require for the application, safeguarding, management and distribution of the fund to be derived from the ordered transaction.  The statutory provisions applicable to the safeguarding, management or distribution of the fund produced by a sale in an action for partition shall apply to the proceeds derived from a sale authorized by this section, so far as this is practical.
