IFacts事实
Decades earlier the client had paid for a cooperative apartment in Queens under an informal arrangement, while the shares and proprietary lease remained in another person's name. An attempt in 2020 to move the shares into a trust was refused by the cooperative, whose policy did not allow trusts to hold shares.数十年前，客户依非正式安排出资购买了皇后区一套合作公寓，但股份及专有租约一直登记在他人名下。2020年曾试图将股份转入信托，因合作公寓政策不允许信托持股而遭拒。
IIQuestion Presented争议问题
How can a person who paid for a co-op but does not hold the shares obtain record ownership when the board will not accept a trust?出资购买合作公寓但未持有股份的人，在董事会不接受信托的情况下，如何取得登记所有权？
