Guam § 23403 - Assets on Guam.

§ 23403. Assets on Guam.

(a) A Guam judgment creditor is specifically authorized to

file a motion for an order to show cause against a judgment

debtor in an effort to compel the turnover of assets or, when the

assets that are sought are not in the possession of the judgment

debtor himself, to compel any person who holds the assets of the

judgment debtor to turn over those assets. Guam courts are

hereby authorized to issue a “delivery order” or “turnover order.”

(b) With respect to a person who holds the assets of the

judgment debtor, a Guam court may issue an order requiring any

person to deliver any such assets, or to convert said assets to

money for payment of the judgment. The court shall require any

person to turn over the assets, or so much of it as is sufficient to

satisfy the judgment, to the judgment creditor. Disobedience of a

turnover order is contempt of court and punishable as such.
