- Addis Tuñón has been appointed as the definitive guardian for J.J.F., the grandson of Mexican singer Maribel Guardia, by a judge's decision.
- Tuñón's appointment means Maribel Guardia is no longer the child's guardian, and Tuñón's first action was to request the removal of Marco Chacón, Guardia's husband, as executor of Julián Figueroa's estate.
- The new guardian aims to ensure the child's needs for food, education, and health are met, and will seek an accounting of how Julián Figueroa's assets have been managed.
A significant development has occurred in the legal proceedings surrounding the inheritance of the late Julián Figueroa, son of Mexican singer Maribel Guardia. Addis Tuñón, a television host, has been officially appointed as the definitive guardian for Figueroa's young son, J.J.F., by judicial order. This ruling effectively removes Maribel Guardia from her role as the child's guardian.
The person who remains as guardian from today is myself, Addis Tuñón, appointed by the judge. I am appointed as the definitive guardian, the judge does it, the family does not.
Tuñón confirmed her new role on the program “De Primera Mano,” stating that the judge's decision was made on Wednesday. Her immediate priority as the child's guardian is to safeguard his interests. Consequently, her first official action was to file a request for the removal of Marco Chacón, Maribel Guardia's husband, from his position as the executor of Julián Figueroa's estate. Tuñón clarified that while she will not directly manage the child's finances or assets, she will oversee their proper utilization.
The first action I take as guardian in this role is to request the removal of Marco Chacón as executor; this request has already been made.
Tuñón emphasized her commitment to ensuring that J.J.F. receives adequate support for his basic needs, including food, education, and healthcare. She also intends to seek a formal accounting of how Julián Figueroa's estate has been managed, suggesting that concerns over its administration may have contributed to Maribel Guardia's removal from her guardianship role. Addis Tuñón is the aunt of Imelda Garza, the child's mother, who retains legal custody of J.J.F.
I will request that the child have access to food and the necessary resources for his education, his health, and entertainment be covered.
