Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The instant appeal must be dismissed, as the subject child is no longer a "minor" subject to the Family Court's jurisdiction ( see Family Ct Act § 119 [c]; § 661; SCPA art 17; Matter of Zaim R., 43 AD3d 824; Matter of Luis A.S., 33 AD3d 793, 794). Although SCPA 1707 (2) was amended in 2006 to permit the extension, under certain circumstances, of a guardian's term of office until the subject child's 21st birthday ( see L 2006, ch 518, § 5 [eff. Aug. 16, 2006]), that additional grant of jurisdiction does not extend to the Family Court in guardianship proceedings commenced pursuant to Family Court Act article 6 ( see Family Ct Act § 119 [c]; § 661).
Even if the Family Court initially erred in denying the petition on the ground of lack of subject matter jurisdiction ( see Matter of Antowa McD., 50 AD3d 507), we are precluded from remitting the matter to the Family Court for a determination of the petition on the merits, as the Family Court no longer has jurisdiction over the subject child. Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed ( see Matter of Zaim R., 43 AD3d 824; Matter of Luis A.S., 33 AD3d at 794).
