Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 2567 — Land Subject to Mortgage., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2567. Land Subject to Mortgage.
When a testator devises land subject to a mortgage or other lien,
other property specifically devised or bequeathed shall not be sold for the
purpose of exonerating the encumbered property, unless a contrary
intention can be gathered from the terms of the will, read in the light of
the circumstances surrounding its execution. A mere direction that all the
testator's debts be paid is not sufficient evidence of such contrary
intention.
