2006 New York Code - Guardians Ad Litem.

 
    §  1608.  Guardians  ad litem. 1. On the return day of the motion made
  pursuant to the provisions of either section 1601 or  section  1602  the
  court  shall  appoint  a guardian ad litem for any minor or other person
  under disability who is a party to the proceeding and is not represented
  by a duly acting guardian, committee or conservator.
    2. On the return day of the motion made pursuant to the provisions  of
  either  section  1601  or  section  1602,  if  it  appears that a future
  interest in the affected real property has been so limited that  as  yet
  there  are  neither  certain  nor presumptive owners thereof in being or
  ascertained, the court shall appoint a guardian ad  litem  to  represent
  and  to  protect  the  possible  interests  of the person or persons who
  eventually may become entitled to such real property, or to an  interest
  therein,  under  such  limitation. The granting of an application is not
  necessarily precluded by the fact that as yet no person other  than  the
  applicant  is  in  being,  who  can  acquire  a beneficial or possessory
  interest in the affected real property.
