    §  760. Duties of counsel or law guardian. 1. If the court has entered
  a dispositional order pursuant to section seven  hundred  fifty-four  it
  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  respondent's  counsel  or law guardian to
  promptly advise such respondent  and  if  his  parent  or  other  person
  responsible  for  his  care  is not the petitioner, such parent or other
  person responsible for his care, in writing of his right  to  appeal  to
  the  appropriate  appellate  division  of  the  supreme  court, the time
  limitations involved, the manner of instituting an appeal and  obtaining
  a transcript of the testimony and the right to apply for leave to appeal
  as  a poor person if he is unable to pay the cost of an appeal. It shall
  be the further duty of such counsel or law guardian to  explain  to  the
  respondent and if his parent or other person responsible for his care is
  not  the petitioner, such parent or person responsible for his care, the
  procedures for instituting an appeal, the possible reasons upon which an
  appeal may be based and the nature  and  possible  consequences  of  the
  appellate process.
    2.  It  shall  also  be  the  duty  of such counsel or law guardian to
  ascertain whether the respondent wishes to appeal and, if so,  to  serve
  and file the necessary notice of appeal.
    3.  If the respondent has been permitted to waive the appointment of a
  law guardian pursuant to section two hundred forty-nine-a, it  shall  be
  the  duty of the court to provide the notice and explanation pursuant to
  subdivision one and, if the  respondent  indicates  that  he  wishes  to
  appeal,  the  clerk  of  the  court  shall  file and serve the notice of
  appeal.
