Guam § 29195 - Proceedings on Termination of Registered Interests:

§ 29195. Proceedings on Termination of Registered Interests:

Costs.

A registered owner or other person in interest or the registrar,

may at any time apply by petition to the court, upon the ground

that registered interests of any description, whether vested,

contingent, expectant, or inchoate, have terminated and ceased, or

that new interests have arisen or been created which do not appear

upon the certificates or that any certificate or memorial has been

made, entered, endorsed, issued or cancelled by mistake, or that

the name of any person on the certificate has been changed by

divorce, adoption, or other than by marriage as provided for in §

29129 of this Code, or that an owner, registered as married, has

ceased to be such, or that a corporation which owned registered

land has been dissolved and has not legally conveyed the same

after its dissolution, or upon any other reasonable ground, for an

order summoning all persons registered as interested in the lands

to which such certificate or memorial relates, to appear at an

appointed time and place and produce their duplicate certificates

and show cause why such omission or mistake or change or

alteration should not be corrected or made. The registrar shall,

upon receiving notice of such petition, enter a memorial of such

application under the certificate of title affected.

If at the time and place appointed all such persons appear and

consent, the court may order the entry of a new certificate, the

entry for cancellation of a memorandum upon a certificate, or

grant any other relief upon such terms, requiring security if

necessary, as it may consider proper.

If such persons, or any of them, fail to appear or do not

consent, the court may proceed to hear testimony and if it appears

COL10/29/2021

to the satisfaction of the court that the relief as petitioned for

should be granted, it shall order and direct the registrar to make

such corrections or modifications on such certificates or

memorials as may be necessary.

A certified copy of such order of the court shall be filed in

the registrar's office before any such corrections or modifications

shall be entered or made.

Costs. When such action has been caused by the fault or

neglect of the registrar, the costs of such proceedings shall be paid

by the registrar out of the fees collected by the registrar under the

provision of this Law; if by the fault of the person registered as

interested in such land, by such person.

The provisions of this section shall not give the court

authority to open the original decree of registration and nothing

shall be done or ordered by the court which shall impair the title

or other interest of the purchaser who holds a certificate for value

and in good faith, or his heirs or assigns without his or their written

consent.
