§ 3039. Subsequent Administration; After- Discovered Property;

Distribution to Territory of Guam; Notice to Treasurer of Guam.

The final settlement of an estate, as in this Chapter provided, shall

not prevent a subsequent issue of letters testamentary or of

administration, or of administration with the will annexed, if other

property of the estate is discovered, or if it becomes necessary or proper

for any cause that letters should be again issued. The Superior Court shall

issue such letters to the person or persons entitled thereto in the same

order and manner as is directed in relation to original letters of

administration, provided however, that the administrator who served at

the time of the order of discharge shall have priority.

Whenever an estate, or any portion thereof, has been distributed to

the territory of Guam, a copy of any petition for subsequent issuance of

letters testamentary or of administration, or of administration with the

will annexed, shall be served by the petitioner upon the Treasurer of

Guam not fewer than fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing upon such

petition.
