THE GUARDIANSHIP OF ANNA M.A., Pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (21-717) — This is a proceeding pursuant to Article 17-A of the Surrogate’s Court Procedure Act for the appointment of the petitioner as guardian of the person of the respondent, an alleged intellectually disabled person. Upon the oral and documentary proof adduced at the virtual hearing, at which the proposed guardian and respondent appeared remotely, 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 she lacks the capacity to make health care decisions. The court further finds that the petitioner and the nominated 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 her mother, Sonnia D.L.C.D.A. Her brother, Isaias A.D.L.C., is appointed standby guardian to serve when the primary guardian is 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 petitioner. Decree signed. December 7, 2021
ESTATE OF ANNIE BAZAN, Deceased (20-1123) — In this proceeding for the issuance of letters of administration to a son of the decedent, waivers and consents were filed by the decedent’s daughter and a son who is the only other distributee of her post-deceased spouse.
