§ 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.
