Guam § 4906 - Notice, etc., of Claims.

§ 4906. Notice, etc., of Claims.

(a) Notice, presentation and payment of creditor's claims shall be

undertaken in proceedings governed by this Chapter, except as follows:

(1) In the case of proceeding re-opened under § 4903 of this

Chapter, or in the case of a deceased heir's estate previously subject

to probate administration as to which direct distribution of the

deceased heir's share of an award is proposed, no notice to creditors

shall be given and no creditor's claims shall be allowed or approved;

provided, however, that if a creditor's claim approved in the original

proceedings remains unsatisfied, notice by registered mail of the

reopened proceedings shall be given to such creditor and the balance

of his approved claim shall be paid if a written request for payment

is filed or presented within sixty (60) days of said mailing.

(2) In original proceedings, and in the case of a deceased heir's

estate that was not previously subject to probate administration, as

to which direct distribution is proposed, notice to creditors shall be

given as provided in Chapter 25 of this Title, except that notice shall

be published, pursuant to §§ 2503 and 2505 of this Title, in only one

(1) issue of a daily newspaper of general circulation in Guam. In

proceedings under § 4904 of this Chapter, such notice shall also list

the estates of each deceased heir whose share is proposed to be

distributed directly, and shall require all persons having a claim

against any of said estates to file, before the entry of a decree of

preliminary or final distribution, a written request for separate

administration on the deceased heir's estate, with the Clerk of the

Superior Court.

(b) Nothing herein shall be construed as permitting revival of a

creditor's claim barred by any statute of limitations or other rule of law.
