Terms Used In 15 Guam Code Ann. § 1809
- Guardian: A person legally empowered and charged with the duty of taking care of and managing the property of another person who because of age, intellect, or health, is incapable of managing his (her) own affairs.
- Probate: Proving a will
a person otherwise entitled to a grant of letters of administration is a minor or an incompetent person, letters of administration may be granted to his guardian, or to any other person entitled to a grant of letters of administration, in the discretion of the Superior Court of Guam.
SOURCE: Probate Code of Guam (1970), § 426.
COMMENT: The amended version of § 426 of the California Probate Code adds provisions concerning conservatees and conservators. Guam currently has no conservatorship provisions in its law, and thus no such provisions are necessary in § 1809. If conservatorship provisions are added to Guam law, however, then § 1809 should be amended to include provisions similar to the above-mentioned California provisions.
