THE GUARDIANSHIP OF BRIANNA M.M., Pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (21-1258) — 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 developmentally disabled person. Upon the oral and documentary proof adduced at the virtual hearing at which the respondent and the proposed guardians appeared remotely, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the respondent is a developmentally disabled person within the provisions of Article 17-A of the SCPA, that she has a developmental disability which results in an impairment of general intellectual functioning so that she is unable to manage herself or her affairs by reason of her developmental disability (SCPA 1750-a [2]), that she lacks the capacity to make health care decisions, and that the petitioners are qualified to assume the responsibility of serving as the respondent’s guardians, including exercising the right to make health care decisions pursuant to SCPA 1750-a (2). Accordingly, the application is granted. Letters of guardianship of the person of the respondent shall issue to her parents, Milagros M. and Luis M. Decree signed. November 9, 2021

THE GUARDIANSHIP OF CHRISTOPHER T.H. Pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (132G1997/A) — In this application, Terry P., the respondent’s cousin and nominated stand-by guardian and respondent’s brother, Michael H. seek to be appointed successor co-guardians of the person and property of the respondent. By decree entered June 16, 1998, and amended on December 5, 2005, the respondent was determined to be an intellectually disabled person within the provisions of Article 17-A of the SCPA and his mother was appointed guardian of his person and property and the petitioning cousin was appointed the stand-by guardian. Respondent’s mother is now deceased. Upon the documentary proof submitted, it appears to be in the best interest of the respondent, and the court is satisfied that the petitioners are each qualified to assume the responsibility of serving as the respondent’s guardian. Accordingly, the application is granted and the decree is amended to provide that letters of successor co-guardianship of the person and property of the respondent shall issue to Terry P. and Michael H. The decree is also modified to reflect that the letters of guardianship that issued to the respondent’s mother are revoked. The decree shall remain in full force and effect in all other respects. Order signed. November 16, 2021
