Guam § 1911 - When Special Administrator's Powers May be Made

§ 1911. When Special Administrator's Powers May be Made

General.

(a) When a special administrator is appointed pending determination

of a contest of a will instituted prior to the probate thereof, or pending an

appeal from an order granting, suspending or revoking letters

testamentary, letters of administration with the will annexed or letters of

administration, the special administrator shall have the same powers,

duties and obligations as an administrator and the letters of

COL120106

administration granted to the special administrator shall recite that such

special administrator is appointed with the powers of an administrator.

(b) When a special administrator has been appointed, and thereafter

a proceeding to contest a will prior to the probate thereof is instituted, the

Superior Court of Guam shall make an order providing that such special

administrator shall thereafter have the additional powers, duties and

obligations of an administrator, and requiring that the special

administrator give such additional security for the faithful performance

of his trust as the Superior Court of Guam deems proper pursuant to the

provisions of Chapter 20 of this Title. Such order is not appealable, and

from the time of the giving of any such additional security as may be

required, the special administrator shall have the powers, duties and

obligations of an administrator.

(c) When a will is admitted to probate and thereafter a contest

thereof is instituted and the probate revoked, and an appeal is taken from

the order of revocation, the Superior Court of Guam may, upon such

notice to such of the persons interested in the estate as the Superior Court

of Guam deems reasonable, appoint a special administrator with or

without the powers, duties and obligations of an administrator.
