On a timely motion, a party may intervene as of right in an action involving the disposition of property where the moving party may be adversely affected by the judgment, pursuant to CPLR 1012[a][3]. In determining whether the motion is timely, a court will consider the time between the proposed intervenor's knowledge of the basis for the motion and the making of the motion, and whether any delay in seeking intervention is prejudicial to a party.
