Guam § 33109 - Priority of Liens.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 33109 — Priority of Liens., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 33109. Priority of Liens.
All liens timely filed have equal priority. If a lien claimant
obtains a judgment foreclosing a lien, all proceeds from the sale
of the property subject to the lien shall be deposited into escrow
with the Superior Court of Guam until the time for all other lien
claimants to record their liens has expired. Should one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate amount of all claims of lien
be less than the total amount of the proceeds in escrow, then the
lien claimants who have obtained a final judgment may apply to
the Superior Court for an order authorizing the disbursal of the
COL5/8/2020
full amount of said judgment with interest accrued. However,
should one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate
amount of all claims of lien be more than the total amount of the
proceeds in escrow, then the lien claimants who have obtained
final judgment shall only be entitled to a pro rata partial
disbursement equal to the ratio their total judgment with interest
accrued bears to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
aggregate amount of all claims of lien, until such time when all
lien claims have been finalized by final judgment or dismissal, at
which time the actual pro rata share of each lien claimant can be
determined and disbursed accordingly by court order.
