§ 3104. Nonresident. Transferred Generally.
When the shares of stock in a corporation are owned by parties
residing out of Guam, the president, secretary, or directors of the corpo-
ration, before entering any transfer of the shares on its books, or issuing a
certificate therefor to the transferee, may require from the attorney or agent
of the nonresident owner, or from the person claiming under the transfer, an
affidavit or other evidence that the nonresident owner was alive at the date
of the transfer, and if such affidavit or other satisfactory evidence be not
furnished, may require from the attorney, agent, or claimant, a bond of
indemnity, with two (2) sureties, satisfactory to the officer of the
corporation; or, if not so satisfactory, then one approved by a judge of the
Superior Court, conditioned to protect the corporation against any liability
to the legal representative of the owner of the shares in case of his or her
death before the transfer; and if such affidavit or other evidence or bond be
not furnished when required as herein provided, neither the corporation nor
any officer thereof shall be liable for refusing to enter the transfer on the
books of the corporation.
