1.  If  the  court  has  entered  a
  dispositional order pursuant to section one thousand fifty-two it  shall

  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

  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 also shall be the duty of such counsel to ascertain whether the
  respondent wishes to appeal and, if so, to serve and file the  necessary
  notice of appeal.
