Surrogate Anderson ESTATE OF ANA AGUAYO, Deceased (16-2023/A) — This is a proceeding by the Public Administrator to settle her account as the administrator of the estate of Ana Aguayo and to determine the identity of decedent’s distributees. Objections were filed by an alleged maternal first cousin to the extent the petition failed to identify him as decedent’s distributee. A kinship hearing was held on April 5, 2019, and objectant, appearing pro se, presented documentary proof as to decedent’s maternal kin. The guardian ad litem for unknown distributees has filed his report in which he recommends that the estate be put on deposit since objectant failed to establish that decedent had no distributees closer in degree than first cousins. Accordingly, the record being insufficient to establish the identity of decedent’s distributees, the Public Administrator is directed to deposit the net estate with the Commissioner of Finance of the City of New York for the benefit of unknown distributees. The Public Administrator shall supplement the account by affidavit, and, as so supplemented, the account is settled. Settle decree providing for compensation of the guardian ad litem. Dated: December 12, 2019 ESTATE OF ROBERT L.
