New York Laws
Article 81 - Proceedings for Appointment of a Guardian for Personal Needs or Property Management
81.26 - Designation of Clerk to Receive Process.

No commission shall issue nor shall any order which in itself
constitutes a commission become effective until an instrument executed
and acknowledged by the guardian has been filed with the clerk of the
court designating the clerk and the clerk's successor in office as a
person on whom service of any process may be made in like manner and
with like effect as if it were served personally upon the guardian
whenever the guardian cannot, with due diligence, be served within the
state.
