GUARDIANSHIP OF JUAN M. M. Pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (19-793) — 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 and property of the respondent, an alleged intellectually disabled person. The petitioner seeks property authority because the respondent is to receive proceeds from a personal injury settlement. Upon the oral and documentary proof adduced at the hearing, at which the proposed guardian, her attorney and the 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 he lacks the capacity to make health care decisions. The court is further satisfied that the petitioner is qualified to assume the responsibility of serving as the respondent’s guardian of the person and property. Accordingly, the application is granted. Letters of guardianship of the person and the property of the respondent shall issue to the respondent’s mother, Damaris M. The Chief Clerk is to mail a copy of this decision and the decree to counsel and the petitioner. Decree signed. June 5, 2023
