Terms Used In 5 Guam Code Ann. § 6202
- 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.

SOURCE: GC § 6500.04. Added by P.L. 17-029:1 (Nov. 9, 1983) as § 6500.11. Codified as 5 Guam Code Ann. § 6202.
CROSS-REFERENCES: 9 Guam Code Ann. § 52.10(f)(2) [Penalties for Perjury]. Also, 6 Guam Code Ann. § 4208 regarding the form for unsworn declarations.
COMMENT: (1) The first words of this Section are changed to “”All claims”” to show that this Section refers to claims made both to the Attorney General and to the Claims Officers of the appropriate autonomous agencies.
(2) The claims made may be either sworn to before a Notary Public or signed “”under the penalty for perjury”” as permitted by the Criminal Code (9 Guam Code Ann. § 52.10(f)(2). This should eliminate one unnecessary bit of red tape for claimants.
