Guam § 4911 - No Administration if Title to Condemned Land was Subject

§ 4911. No Administration if Title to Condemned Land was Subject

of Prior Administration.

A decree of preliminary or final distribution purporting to distribute

a parcel of real property that had been condemned either before or after

the decedent's death, but prior to entry of such decree, passes title to the

land claims award with respect to the property taken to those persons to

whom the parcel is distributed by the decree, and is a binding and con-

clusive determination of the persons entitled to the land claims award for

said property; no further administration is required upon the decedent's

estate in respect of said award. The Superior Court may reopen the

proceedings for the sole purpose of consolidating administration upon

the estates of deceased heirs, pursuant to §§ 4903 and 4904 of this

Chapter, but shall not vacate, set aside or in any way modify the terms of

the prior decree purporting to distribute the condemned land, except in

COL120106

case of fraud, misrepresentation made to the court, heirs omitted from the

proceedings, or lack of notice.
