COMMENT: Section 327 of the Probate Code of Guam (1970) contained very detailed notice provisions, generally providing that notice of the hearings referred to in § 1515 were to be published, and posted in certain specified places, by the Clerk of the Superior Court of Guam. In drafting this Title, the Commission reached the conclusion that the notice provisions contained throughout the Probate Code of Guam (1970) were both archaic — apparently stemming from a time when no daily newspapers existed in Guam –and largely ineffective. The Commission has thus revised all notice provisions in this Title, including the provisions in § 1515, so that this Title’s notice procedures would be workable and efficient without sacrificing effectiveness.
