11 Guam Code Ann. § 70102

- Mortgage: The written agreement pledging property to a creditor as collateral for a loan.
- Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.
SOURCE: GC § 16001.
COURT DECISIONS: Finally, this Court finds that having to get an exemption in order to make a loan secured by Guam real property is simply not reasonable. When a bank gets the two licenses required under 11 Guam Code Ann. § 106722, it may engage in the transactions set forth in § 106727 and, if the bank qualifies, engage in transactions set forth in §§ 106728 and 106729. The business license does not include the transaction set forth in § 106730, the securing of a mortgage loan with Guam real property. Consequently, because it is not included within the scope of the license, then the foreign bank, licensed here on Guam, would still need to get an exemption under § 70130. EIE Guam Corp., et al. V.
