Terms Used In 1 Guam Code Ann. § 723

  • Probate: Proving a will
  • Uniform Commercial Code: A set of statutes enacted by the various states to provide consistency among the states' commercial laws. It includes negotiable instruments, sales, stock transfers, trust and warehouse receipts, and bills of lading. Source: OCC
This Chapter shall apply to this Code, as the titles thereof become law, and to the Government Code, Civil Code, Code of Civil Procedure and Probate Code, so long as the latter Codes remain outside of the Guam Code Annotated. The definitions found in this Chapter shall apply to the Criminal and Correctional Code, to the Criminal Procedure Code, which are Titles 8 and 9 of this Code, and to the Uniform Commercial Code, which is Title
13 of this Code, only if the definitions of this Chapter are consistent with the definitions contained in Titles 8, 9, and 13 of this Code.

SOURCE: New Section.

COMMENT: This Section is required to insure that this Chapter is seen to cover all the Codes of Guam existing at the time this Title is enacted, not only the GCA. The sections replaced by this Chapter are repealed from the Codes affected so that there are not two definitions, or sometimes three, enacted at one time on one subject. Several of the definitions contained herein are combinations of definitions from three codes and differ, in form, from all three. Therefore, to have these definitions, and the Code defini- tions enacted at the one time would cause much confusion.
