Surrogate Malave-GonzalezGUARDIANSHIP OF ALTON S. F., Pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (17/936) — This is a proceeding pursuant to Article 17-A of the Surrogate’s Court Procedure Act for the appointment of the petitioners as guardians of the person of the respondent, an alleged intellectually disabled person.Upon the oral and documentary proof adduced at the hearing at which the proposed guardians appeared and the court waived the appearance of the respondent based upon the medical certifications, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the respondent is an intellectually disabled person within the provisions of Article 17-A of the SCPA and that he lacks the capacity to make health care decisions. The court is further satisfied that the petitioners and proposed standby guardian are qualified to assume the responsibility of serving as the respondent’s guardians.Accordingly, the application is granted. Letters of guardianship of the person of the respondent shall issue to Renee H. S. and Sharon E. B., his sisters. The respondent’s brother, Aaron A. F., is appointed standby guardian to serve when the primary guardians are no longer able to do so. The successor guardian shall assume the duties of his office subject to qualification and confirmation pursuant to SCPA 1757.The Chief Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this decision and decree to the pro se petitioners.Decree signed.July 24, 2018
ESTATE OF ANA PEREZ, Deceased (18/1184) — On the return date of citation in this proceeding by a son of the decedent for the issuance of letters of administration, jurisdiction was obtained over three grandchildren who defaulted, and the court dispensed with service upon two post-deceased sons for whom no fiduciary is yet appointed for their respective estates and two other grandchildren whose whereabouts are unknown; however, jurisdiction is to be obtained over the estates of the post-deceased sons and those two grandchildren in an accounting or other appropriate proceeding. The temporary guardian of the person and property of the decedent’s daughter under a disability was appointed guardian ad litem for her in this proceeding. Thereafter, the petitioner and the guardian ad litem entered into a stipulation which was “so-ordered” by the court. The terms of the so-ordered stipulation provide, inter alia, that the letters of administration that issue to the petitioner will be limited by SCPA 805 (3) with regard to the sale of real property.Accordingly, in the absence of any opposition, the application is granted, and letters of administration limited pursuant to SCPA 805 (3) shall issue to the petitioner in accord with the “so-ordered” stipulation entered into by the petitioner and the guardian ad litem.Submit decree.July 17, 2018
