Decision & Orders signed: July 12 & 13, 2023 Surrogate Gingold

ESTATE OF JEROME KAUFMAN, a/k/a JERRY KAUFMAN, Deceased (19-1089/A) — Incident to her final accounting in the estate of Jerome Kaufman, the Public Administrator requests a determination of the identity of decedent’s distributees. Based upon the proof submitted at a kinship hearing held before a court-attorney referee, in which a guardian ad litem appointed to represent unknown distributees participated, the court finds that decedent was survived by one paternal first cousin (who post-deceased). 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 other person. It is therefore determined that no other distributees exist (SCPA 2225). The report of the guardian ad litem indicates that she is satisfied that the identity of decedent’s sole distributee has been established. Accordingly, pursuant to EPTL 4-1.1(a)(6), the Public Administrator is directed to distribute the net estate to Toni Sigalow, as personal representative of the estate of Lila Kaufman Lind. The Public Administrator shall supplement her account by affidavit, and, as so supplemented, the account is settled. Settle decree. Dated: July 12, 2023
