GUARDIANSHIP OF ALEKSANDER M.K. Pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (17-478/A) — In a prior proceeding brought pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (File No. 2017-478) the court issued a decree, dated November 15, 2017, which determined that the respondent is intellectually disabled and appointed his parents the guardians of his person. The parents (hereinafter, the “petitioners”) now seek to amend the decree to add property powers and become guardians of the respondent’s person and property. The petitioners have submitted documents in support of their application establishing that: (i) respondent is the next in line to inherit from a cousin, Janusz Andrzej Foremski; (ii) Mr. Foremski died a Polish domiciliary on May 19, 2018 and his estate is being administered by a court in Poland;(iii) the liabilities associated with inheriting Mr. Foremski’s estate exceed its assets and would create a financial burden for the respondent; and (iv) this financial burden can be avoided if the inheritance is timely rejected in the Polish court. The petitioners have not shown that the respondent has any other property requiring administration or the court’s consideration at this time. On this state of the record, the court finds that respondent’s best interests would be served by renouncing his rights to inherit Mr. Foremski’s estate. Accordingly, the respondent’s parents, Krzysztof B.K. and Victoria A.L-K, are appointed guardians of his person and property. Pursuant to SCPA 702 (10), the letters of property guardianship issued hereon shall be limited to conferring the petitioners with the authority to reject the respondent’s inheritance from Janusz Andrzej Foremski. Furthermore, said letters shall indicate that the petitioners will not be required to file annual accountings with the court. The Chief Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this decision and the order to be entered hereon to the pro se petitioners. Order signed. June 30, 2023
ESTATE OF ANDRE BRACERO aka ANDRES BRACERO, Deceased (22-1503) — In this application by the decedent’s niece for the issuance of letters of administration, jurisdiction was obtained over four siblings, two nephews and two other nieces, and there was no appearance in opposition on the return date of citation held on the court’s virtual platform nor has any opposition to the application been indicated to the court to date. The court dispenses with service in this proceeding upon another niece and an alleged nephew whose whereabouts are unknown; however, jurisdiction shall be obtained over them in any future accounting or other appropriate proceeding. Accordingly, in the absence of opposition, the application is granted, and letters of administration shall issue to the petitioner limited pursuant to SCPA 702(1) with regard to any cause of action. Decree signed. June 26, 2023
