§ 1107. Restoration to Decedent's Estate of Property in Which
Surviving Spouse Had Expectancy.
Whenever any married person dies domiciled in Guam who has
made a transfer to a person other than his surviving spouse, without
receiving in exchange a consideration of substantial value, of property in
which such surviving spouse had an expectancy under Section 1101 of
this Title at the time of such transfer, such surviving spouse may require
the transferee to restore to such decedent's estate one-half (2) of such
property, its value, or its proceeds, if such decedent had a substantial
quantum of ownership or control of such property at death. If such dece-
dent has provided for such surviving spouse by will, however, such
surviving spouse cannot require such restoration unless such surviving
spouse has made an irrevocable election to take against the will under
Section 1103 of this Title rather than to take under the will. All property
restored to such decedent's estate under the provisions of this Section
shall go to his surviving spouse pursuant to Section 1101 of this Title as
though such transfer had not been made.
