SOURCE: Guam Law Revision Commission. Subsection (a)(2) of § 3401 was amended by P.L. 18-36:1.

COMMENT: The Commission has extensively revised the provisions concerning notice from those contained in the Probate Code of Guam (1970). The prior provi- sions were very cumbersome; moreover, they provided in most cases for the posting of notices on public bulletin boards, a procedure which the Commission believes is no longer necessary in light of the publication of daily newspapers in Guam. Under the revised notice scheme of § 3401, notice of the initial proceedings in probate cases will be given by posting (in the office of the decedent’s municipal commissioner only) and by publication. Thereafter, notice will be given (personally or by registered mail) only to those persons who are known to be interested in the probate proceedings — e.g., heirs, devisees, legatees, creditors, those who have entered appearances and those requesting special notice. Also see 1 Guam Code Ann. § 717 for
further provision as to what constitutes Aregistered mail.@
