Surrogate Higgitt

THE GUARDIANSHIP OF MIGUEL A. T., Pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (20-977) — 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. Upon the oral and documentary proof adduced at the remote hearing at which the proposed guardian and the ward appeared electronically, 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 also satisfied that the petitioner and the proposed standby guardian are qualified to assume the responsibility of serving as the respondent’s guardian. Accordingly, the application is granted. Letters of guardianship of the person of the respondent shall issue to Nathaly T., his sister. An aunt, Vilma B., 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 her office subject to qualification and confirmation pursuant to SCPA 1757. Decree signed. February 10, 2021
