ESTATE OF MADELYN KERPER, Deceased (18-4490/A) — In this final accounting of the Public Administrator as administrator of the estate of Madelyn Kerper (“decedent”), who died on October 28, 2018, the court is asked to determine the identity of decedent’s distributees. Based upon the proof submitted at a kinship hearing before a court attorney-referee, in which a guardian ad litem for unknown distributees participated, the court finds that decedent was survived by five nephews and one niece, children of her predeseased brother. The court is satisfied that diligent and exhaustive efforts have been made, without success, to ascertain the existence of other distributees, that more than three years have elapsed since decedent’s death, and that no claim to a distributive share in the estate has been made by any person other than the above-mentioned distributees (SCPA 2225). The final report of the guardian ad litem indicates that she is satisfied that the identities of the distributees have been established. Accordingly, the net estate shall be distributed in six equal shares to the following individuals: Jay (Yehuda) Kerper, Ira (Yitzchok) Kerper, Hillel Kerper, Simcha Kerper, Gayle Kerper Tikotsky and Yisroel Tzvi Kerper. The Public Administrator shall supplement her account by affidavit and, as so supplemented, the account is settled. Settle decree. Dated: December 30, 2021 Surrogate Mella
