§ 2529. Claims Filed With Clerk; Procedure.
COL120106
When a claim is filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court of Guam
before being presented to the personal representative, it shall be filed in
duplicate. The Clerk of the Superior Court of Guam shall immediately
deliver personally or send, by registered mail, to the personal repre-
sentative, if one has been appointed, or to the personal representative's
attorney, if any, one of the duplicates of the claim. If no personal
representative has been appointed at the time a claim is filed with the
Clerk of the Superior Court, the Clerk of the Superior Court shall retain
both duplicates of the claim until such time as a personal representative
is appointed, at which time the Clerk of the Superior Court shall immedi-
ately deliver personally or send, by registered mail, to the personal
representative or to the personal representative's attorney, if any, one of
the duplicates of the claim. The personal representative must allow or
reject the claim, and his allowance or rejection must be in writing and
filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court. If the personal representative
allows the claim, the Clerk of the Superior Court, immediately after the
filing of the allowance, must present the claim and the allowance to a
judge of the Superior Court, and at the same time endorse on the claim
the date of such presentation. The judge must endorse upon the claim his
allowance or rejection, with the date thereof.
